Current target-state probability.

Grover's Search
Choose a search space, mark a target, and watch the probability mass rotate toward the target state as iteration count changes.
The lab uses the geometric amplitude-amplification picture so learners can see why too many iterations overshoot the target.

Grover's Search
Grover amplification rotates amplitude toward the marked state. The trick is not just that probability rises, but that too many iterations start to undo the gain.

Outputs
Rule-of-thumb iteration count for the current search size.
Overshooting causes the amplitude rotation to swing past the target.
Grover is best understood as a rotation in a two-dimensional subspace. Probability rises, peaks, and then falls again if you keep iterating.
