🔹 Time Complexity of Grover’s Algorithm

Grover’s algorithm is designed for unstructured search problems — finding a marked item in a set of size $N$.

• Classical Search → $O(N)$
  (On average, must check half the items; worst case = all $N$).

• Grover’s Algorithm (Quantum Search) → $O(\sqrt{N})$
  (It amplifies the probability of the correct solution using quantum interference, so only about $\sqrt{N}$ iterations are needed).

🔹 Formal Complexity

• Each iteration involves:

  • Oracle query (marking the solution).

  • Diffusion operator (amplitude amplification).

• Total number of iterations required:

  $$O(\sqrt{N})$$

So the time complexity is:

$$T(N) = O(\sqrt{N})$$

🔹 Example

• If $N = 1,000,000$:

  • Classical → ~500,000 checks.

  • Grover’s → Only ~1,000 iterations ($\sqrt{1,000,000} = 1000$).

✅ In short

The time complexity of Grover’s algorithm is $O(\sqrt{N})$, which gives a quadratic speedup over classical search $O(N)$.
