are the equal superposition of the nodes in partition 1 (excluding
) and 2, respectively. However, the understanding of why the search is optimal in this graph is shown in Fig. 3c. (c) The same Hamiltonian as in Fig. 3b, after a basis rotation gives us an idea as to why the algorithm works optimally. The resultant basis is

and
. The degeneracy between site energies of
and
facilitates transport between these two nodes while transport between
and
is inhibited by the energy gap between them (much larger than the coupling V2). Since there is a considerable overlap between the initial superposition of states
and
, there is a large probability amplitude at
after a time
