  Grover's algorithm
Grover's algorithm provides "only" quadratic speedup, unlike other quantum algorithms which are thought to provide exponential speedup over their classical counterparts.
Grover's algorithm wouldn't typically be used to search for names in a phone book, but it could be used to search for a key that decrypts an encrypted message.
Grover's algorithm can be used for mean and median estimation, and solving the collision problem.

The significance of Grover's work on what he calls "quantum telecomputation" is that it pioneers the study of an important question, says theoretical physicist John Preskill of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
Grover's initial interest was in exploiting quantum mechanical effects to develop an efficient procedure, or algorithm, for solving an important type of problem in computer science.

The algorithm, developed by Bell Labs researcher Lov Grover in his spare time, will be ready for use when the first quantum computer becomes available—maybe five or 50 years from now.
But a quantum computer using Grover's algorithm would only require a specific number of steps; the number of steps needed is the square root of the total number of items in the database.
Grover notes that the technology could also be used in other areas besides phone books and business databases.

 Science News Online (8/31/96): Quantum-Quick Queries
Lov K. Grover of ATandT Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., described his novel algorithm earlier this year at a Philadelphia meeting on the theory of computing.
The only problem is that Grover's method requires a quantum computer, in which the familiar binary logic of 0s and 1s of existing computers is replaced by elements called quantum bits (qubits) that behave according to the laws of quantum mechanics (SN: 1/14/95, p.
Computer scientists may also find it possible to combine Grover's scheme with other quantum-mechanical algorithms to design superior procedures for searching databases in which items are in alphabetical order or have some other sort of structure.

 Quantum Sampling Algorithm TRN 062800
The sampling algorithm, written by Bell Labs' researcher Lov K. Grover, enables three types of applications for quantum computing: statistical sampling, searching with sketchy information and Monte Carlo integration, which is a technique for approximating the answers to scientific problems that are too difficult to solve.
Grover's quantum sampling algorithm is similar to classical algorithms that use sampling but takes advantage of the quantum speed-up.
Although the sampling algorithm is probably not as "novel and exciting" as Grover's original search algorithm, no one doubts the importance of sampling on quantum computers, said Daniel Lidar, a physicist researching quantum computing at the University of California at Berkeley.

Although the purpose of Grover's algorithm is usually described as "searching a database", it may be more accurate to describe it as "inverting a function".
Inverting a function is related to the searching of a database because we could come up with a function that produces a particular value of y if x matches a desired entry in a database, and another value of y for other values of x.
Grover's algorithm can also be used for estimating the mean and median of a set of numbers, and for solving the collision problem.
