Autores: Lavor, Carlile; Liberti, Leo; Maculan, Nelson
Resumo: Grover’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm for searching in unstructured databases. Due to the properties of quantum mechanics, it provides a quadratic speedup over its classical counterparts. We present a new application of the algorithm to the Molecular Distance Geometry Problem. This problem is related to the determination of the tridimensional structure of a molecule based on the knowledge of some of the distances between pairs of atoms. This problem is NP-hard unless all possible inter-atomic distances are known.
