Abstract
The quantum search algorithm is a technique for searching N possibilities in only sqrt(N) steps. Although the algorithm itself is widely known, not so well known is the series of steps that first led to it, these are quite different from any of the generally known forms of the algorithm. This paper describes these steps, which start by discretizing Schr\"odinger's equation. This paper also provides a self-contained introduction to the quantum search algorithm from a new perspective.
