===For quantum computers=== There are also search methods designed for [[Quantum computing|quantum computer]]s, like [[Grover's algorithm]], that are theoretically faster than linear or brute-force search even without the help of data structures or heuristics. While the ideas and applications behind quantum computers are still entirely theoretical, studies have been conducted with algorithms like Grover's that accurately replicate the hypothetical physical versions of quantum computing systems.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=López|first1=G V|last2=Gorin|first2=T|last3=Lara|first3=L|date=26 February 2008|title=Simulation of Grover's quantum search algorithm in an Ising-nuclear-spin-chain quantum computer with first- and second-nearest-neighbour couplings|journal=Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics|volume=41|issue=5|page=055504|doi=10.1088/0953-4075/41/5/055504|arxiv=0710.3196|bibcode=2008JPhB...41e5504L|s2cid=18796310}}</ref>
