contents We present an optimized adiabatic quantum schedule for unstructured search building on the original approach of Roland and Cerf [Phys. Rev. A 65, 042308 (2002)]. Our schedule adiabatically varies the Hamiltonian even more rapidly at the endpoints of its evolution, preserving Grover's well-known quadratic quantum speedup. In the errorless adiabatic limit, the probability of successfully obtaining the marked state from a measurement increases directly proportional to time, suggesting efficient parallelization. Numerical simulations of an appropriate reduced two-dimensional Schrödinger system confirm adiabaticity while demonstrating superior performance in terms of probability compared to existing adiabatic algorithms and Grover's algorithm, benefiting applications with possible premature termination. We introduce a protocol that ensures a marked-state probability at least $p$ in time of order $\sqrt{N}(1+p/\varepsilon)$, and analyze its implications for realistic bounded-resource scenarios. Our findings suggest that quantum advantage may still be achievable under constrained coherence times (where other algorithms fail), provided the hardware allows for them to be sufficiently long.
