2.6 -Flip + Mirror/Grover Primitives

The lecture slides are available here Download here.

In this lecture, we explore amplitude amplification, a technique used to convert phase differences in a quantum register into readable magnitude differences. We illustrate its significance with a motivational example involving a superposition of quantum states, demonstrating how amplitude amplification can help find a marked value within the superposition.

The lecture covers the flip primitive, which marks the phase of a qubit. When the mirror operation is applied, the magnitudes change, making it likely to find the marked value upon reading the register, with a significantly improved probability.
