Compared with classical search algorithms, Grover quantum algorithm [ Phys.
Rev. Lett., 79, 325(1997)] achieves quadratic speedup and Bruschweiler hybrid
quantum algorithm [Phys. Rev. Lett., 85, 4815(2000)] achieves an exponential
speedup. In this paper, we report the experimental realization of the
Bruschweiler$ algorithm in a 3-qubit NMR ensemble system. The pulse sequences
are used for the algorithms and the measurement method used here is improved on
that used by Bruschweiler, namely, instead of quantitatively measuring the spin
projection of the ancilla bit, we utilize the shape of the ancilla bit
spectrum. By simply judging the downwardness or upwardness of the corresponding
peaks in an ancilla bit spectrum, the bit value of the marked state can be read
out, especially, the geometric nature of this read-out can make the results
more robust against errors.Comment: 10 pages and 3 figure
