Phys. Rev. A 67, 062311 (2003) [6 pages]Pattern recognition on a quantum computerReceived 26 August 2002; published 26 June 2003 By means of a simple example, it is demonstrated that the task of finding and identifying certain patterns in an otherwise (macroscopically) unstructured picture (dataset) can be accomplished efficiently by a quantum computer. Employing the powerful tool of the quantum Fourier transform, the proposed quantum algorithm exhibits an exponential speedup in comparison with its classical counterpart. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
