The quadratic speedup in Grover's search algorithm from the entanglement perspective

Description

We show that Grover's algorithm can be described as an iterative change of the bipartite entanglement, which leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for quadratic speedup. This allows us to reestablish, from the entanglement perspective, that Grover's search algorithm is the only optimal pure state search algorithm.
