Lov Grover

Lov Kumar Grover is an Indian-American computer scientist. He is the originator of the Grover database search algorithm used in quantum computing. Grover's 1996 algorithm won renown as the second major algorithm proposed for quantum computing, and in 2017 was finally implemented in a scalable physical quantum system. Grover's algorithm has been the subject of numerous popular science articles.

Life

Lov Kumar Grover was born in Meerut, India in 1961.
Grover received his bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 1981 and his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1985. In 1984, he went to Bell Laboratories. He worked as a visiting professor at Cornell University from 1987 to 1994. He retired in 2008, becoming an independent researcher.
