Element distinctness problem: Remove confusing phrase since both algorithms require the same number of queries
Line 194:
{{main|Element distinctness problem}}
 
The element distinctness problem is the problem of determining whether all the elements of a list are distinct. Classically, Ω(''N'') queries are required for a list of size ''N'', since this problem is harder than the search problem which requires Ω(''N'') queries. However, it can be solved in <math>\Theta(N^{2/3})</math> queries on a quantum computer. The optimal algorithm is by [[Andris Ambainis]].<ref>
