Abstract

In complexity theory, a famous unsolved problem is whether NP is equal to P or not. In this paper, we discuss this aspect in SAT (satisfiability) problem, and it is shown that SAT can be solved in polynomial time by means of a quantum algorithm if the superposition of two orthogonal vectors |0 and |1 prepared is detected physically.
