Grover’s quantum search
algorithm is one of the most widely studied and has produced results in some
search applications faster than their classical counterpart by a square-root.
This paper modifies Grover’s algorithm to solve nonlinear equations over Galois
Finite field GF(q) in O(2nm) iteration, while the best classical general solution takes
O(2nm) iteration. The modification is done by using a register for
each variable and represent it by n qubits. The paper also introduces the
implementation of the suggested algorithm by using the simulator QCL 5.1.
