A data search method based on a quantum simulated algorithm includes: creating a first search path according to a plurality of pieces of candidate data; obtaining a first processing function corresponding to the first search path, the first processing function comprising the plurality of coefficients, output values of the first processing function being determined by the first search path; traversing at least two value sets of the first search path; obtaining the output values of the first processing function based on a quantum simulated algorithm; respectively using, when the output values of the first processing function converge to a converging value, a plurality of values in a value set corresponding to the converging value as the values of the plurality of coefficients, to obtain a second search path; and searching for target data by using the second search path.
