Description

Long et al. first used an SO(3) picture to study Grover's general algorithm. The present paper gives the formulas of the rotation angle and the rotation axis of the rotation Ru0 is contained in O(3) in the space simply by means of the invariants of Grover's general algorithm. Thus it avoids computing Ru0 and solving the eigenvalue problem Ru0ξ=ξ for the rotation angle and the rotation axis of the rotation Ru0 as Long et al. did. So it saves much space and time. Conversely by means of the rotation angle in the space we can describe the nature of Grover's algorithm
