(editors), General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics, Springer, LNCS 4123, page 452, Thus, Grover's algorithm has optimal order of complexity. Here, we present an information-theoretic analysis of Grover's algorithm and show that the square-root speed-up by Grover's algorithm is the best possible by any algorithm using the same quantum oracle.”

Mosterman (editors), Computation for Humanity, Taylor & Francis (CRC Press), page 286, The best possible classical algorithm uses O(N) time. This speed up is only polynomial, but, unlike for Shor's algorithm, it has been proven that Grover's algorithm outperforms any possible classical approach.”

“|Q_A⟩=Gʳ|Ψ(0)⟩≈ sin ((2r+1)ϕ)1/√∑_( mathit )solutions|y⟩ (3.59) where the probability of finding a nonsolution is presumed to be small and has been neglected in the equation.”
