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[citation needed] and his PhD in Electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1985.[7][8] He then went to Bell Laboratories, where he worked for an assistant professor at Cornell University from 1987 to 1995.[citation needed]
