It may be that life is just an example of Grover’s quantum search at work, and that this algorithm is itself a fundamental property of nature. That’s a Big Idea if ever there was one.

“We had to control how big a number shows up as we do this guessing and coordination,” said Peng. Peng and Vempala prove that their algorithm can solve any sparse linear system in n 2.332 steps. This ...
