Gl. Long et al., Arbitrary phase rotation of the marked state cannot be used for Grover's quantum search algorithm, COMM TH PHY, 32(3), 1999, pp. 335-338
A misunderstanding that an arbitrary phase rotation of the marked state tog
ether with the inversion about average operation can be used to construct a
(less efficient) quantum search algorithm is cleared. The rr rotation of t
he phase of the marked state is not only the choice for efficiency, but als
o vital in Grover's quantum search algorithm. The results also show that Gr
over's quantum search algorithm is robust.
