Lov Kumar Grover (born 1961) is an Indian-American computer scientist. He is the originator of the Grover database search algorithm used in quantum computing.[1] Grover's 1996 algorithm won renown as the second major algorithm proposed for quantum computing (after Shor's 1994 algorithm),[2][3] and in 2017 was finally implemented in a scalable physical quantum system.[4] Grover's algorithm has been the subject of numerous popular science articles.[5][6]
Grover received his bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 1981[7] and his PhD in Electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1985.[8][9] In 1984, he went to Bell Laboratories. He worked as a visiting professor at Cornell University from 1987 to 1994.[7] He retired in 2008 becoming an independent researcher.[10]
