Evaluating the Suitability of IBM Quantum Hardware for Practical Quantum Search

Through the application of concepts derived from quantum mechanics, quantum computers assert that they are capable of doing certain tasks with more efficiency than classical computers. For the purpose of accelerating the process of solving unstructured search problems, a well-known quantum technique known as Grover’s algorithm, is utilized. As part of this investigation, the IBM Q 5 Tenerife is compared to the quantum hardware that is already available from IBM, and the feasibility of adopting Grover’s approach is evaluated. An analysis of the algorithm’s component pieces, such as the diffusion operator and the oracle, is included in this presentation. Additionally, simulation and experimental data are also included. The findings that we obtained demonstrate that the accuracy of the 3-qubit Grover’s approach is improved when it is executed. In contrast, the 4-qubit Grover’s technique demonstrates a rise in accuracy that is not as noticeable as the other algorithm. The execution time of the 3-qubit Grover’s approach is successfully reduced from 84.33 second to just 5 second by both of the methods, which is something that should be included in the discussion.
