Grover's algorithm: how does adding a phase to a qubit increase its amplitude??

Grover's algorithm is a fascinating quantum search algorithm that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to achieve a quadratic speedup over classical algorithms for unstructured search problems. The key to understanding how adding a phase to a qubit increases its amplitude lies in the concept of amplitude amplification.

In Grover's algorithm, the process involves two main steps: phase inversion and amplitude amplification. Here's a simplified breakdown:

Phase Inversion: The algorithm first applies an oracle function that flips the phase of the desired state(s). This means that the amplitude of the desired state(s) is multiplied by -1, effectively inverting its phase.

Amplitude Amplification: After the phase inversion, the algorithm applies a series of operations that amplify the amplitude of the desired state(s) while suppressing the amplitudes of the other states. This is achieved through a process called the Grover diffusion operator, which inverts the amplitudes of all states about their average amplitude.

By iterating these steps, the amplitude of the desired state(s) increases, making it more likely to be measured when the quantum state is observed. Essentially, the phase inversion marks the desired state(s), and the amplitude amplification process boosts their probability of being found.
