Two-Dimensional Quantum Search Algorithm

Quantum mechanical search induces polynomial speed up in an unsorted database search process. In case of classical linear search the computational time increases with the dimensionality of the query. However, quantum parallelism, inherent to quantum systems, does not let multi-dimensional query processing affect the computational time of the quantum search algorithm. In this letter, a two-dimensional search process has been proposed. It has been shown that a two-dimensional search process can be accomplished without increasing the computational time due to implicit quantum parallelism
