What is the Grover's algorithm?

Grover's algorithm is a quantum algorithm developed by Lov Grover in 1996. It is a search algorithm that can be used to find a specific item in an unsorted database with a quadratic speedup compared to classical algorithms. The algorithm uses quantum superposition and interference to amplify the amplitude of the desired item, making it more likely to be measured. This algorithm has applications in various fields, including cryptography, optimization, and database searching.
