Abstract

One of the most fundamental choices to store the big data it’s the use of unstructured databases. However, the classical algorithms used in NoSQL databases suffer from slow execution of orders, especially in search operations. In order to decrease the data time processing in general and more particularly the search period in unstructured databases, we suggest in this work the use of a quantum approach based on Grover’s algorithm.
