Abstract
Recently it has been shown that time-optimal quantum computation is attained by using the Cartan decomposition of a unitary matrix. We extend this approach by noting that the unitary group is compact. This allows us to reduce the execution time of a quantum algorithm $U_{\rm alg}$ further by adding an extra gate $W$ to it. This gate $W$ sends $U_{\rm alg}$ to another algorithm $WU_{\rm alg}$ which is executable in a shorter time than $U_{\rm alg}$. We call this technique warp-drive. Here we show both theoretically and experimentally that the execution time of Grover's algorithm is reduced in two-qubit NMR quantum computer. Warp-drive is potentially a powerful tool in accelerating algorithms and reducing the errors in any realization. of a quantum computer
