One of the most basic computational problems is the task of finding a desired item in an ordered list of $N$ items. While the best classical algorithm for this problem uses ${\mathrm{log}}_{2}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}N$ queries to the list, a quantum computer can solve the problem using a constant factor fewer queries. However, the precise value of this constant is unknown. By characterizing a class of quantum query algorithms for the ordered search problem in terms of a semidefinite program… Expand
