• Abstract: Grover's algorithm provides a quadratic speedup for searching unstructured databases and is traditionally implemented with qubits in Hilbert spaces whose dimensions are powers of two. With the advent of quantum platforms utilizing qudits---quantum systems with more than two levels---there is a need to generalize Grover search to these architectures, including heterogeneous systems with qudits of varying dimensions. Here, we present a unified framework for qudit-based Grover search, detailing the construction of oracles and diffusion operators with and without ancilla qubits and generalizing deterministic and fixed-point search variants that ensure exact or bounded success probabilities. We analyze phase-matching techniques and provide explicit circuit decompositions suitable for diverse hardware platforms. We also compare the corresponding trajectories on the Bloch sphere to provide an intuitive visualization of how the different phase choices amplify the target state. These results facilitate flexible, hardware-oriented protocols for implementing Grover search on qudit processors, potentially reducing circuit depth and enhancing success probabilities, thereby offering a practical toolkit for quantum computation and sensing applications leveraging multilevel quantum systems.
