Quantum search for a given substring in the text using a hashing technique

Abstract

© 2020, Kazan Federal University. All rights reserved. The problem of searching for a given substring in the text was considered. It is known that classical algorithms solve this problem in a linear time depending on the length of the text and the specified template. Quantum algorithms speed up the search by “square root times”. In this paper, we proposed a quantum algorithm that solves the search problem a) with a high probability of getting the correct result and b) with the same acceleration (by “square root times”) as compared with the classical one, but it c) requires much less memory (based on the number of qubits used) than the previously known quantum algorithms.
