Abstract
We prove that it is impossible to built a universal quantum machine that produces reflections about an unknown state. We then point out a connection between this result and the optimality of Grover's search algorithm: if such reflection machines were available, it would be possible to accelerate Grover's search algorithm to exponential speedups.
