2D Grover's Algorithm — Amplitude Radar vs Classical Scan

A 2D radar-chart view of Grover's quantum search: a real amplitude array per basis state, genuine oracle sign-flip and mean-inversion diffusion each iteration, plotted as a polygon whose target vertex grows toward certainty in O(√N) steps — run side by side against an animated classical linear scan that really counts its comparisons.

This 2D companion to the 3D Grover's-algorithm bar chart keeps the exact same amplitude-array mathematics — a real oracle sign-flip and a real mean-inversion diffusion operator recomputed from the live array every iteration — but renders it as a radar/polygon chart, one spoke per basis state, instead of a set of bars. A second, genuinely animated track runs a classical linear scan with a real comparison counter alongside it, so the O(√N) vs O(N) comparison is something you watch happen rather than a printed number.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D radar-chart view of Grover's quantum search over a real N=8/16-item amplitude array, with a genuine oracle sign-flip and mean-inversion diffusion operator recomputed from the live array every iteration, plotted as a polygon whose target vertex grows toward certainty in O(√N) steps — run alongside an animated classical linear scan that really counts its comparisons box by box.
