Abstract: In "Playing Pool with π", Galperin invented an extraordinary method to learn the digits of π by counting the collisions of billiard balls. Here I demonstrate a surprising connection between Galperin's bouncing billiards and Grover's algorithm for quantum search. Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.02207, see also https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-pi-connects-colliding-blocks-to-a-quantum-search-algorithm-20200121
