In quantum computing, the quantum Fourier transform is a linear transformation on quantum bits, and is the quantum analogue of the discrete Fourier transform. The quantum Fourier transform is a part of many quantum algorithms, notably Shor's algorithm for factoring and computing the discrete logarithm, the quantum phase estimation algorithm for estimating the eigenvalues of a unitary operator, and algorithms for the hidden subgroup problem. The quantum Fourier transform can be performed efficiently on a quantum computer, with a particular decomposition into a product of simpler unitary matrices. Using a simple decomposition, the discrete Fourier transform on amplitudes can be implemented as a quantum circuit consisting of only Hadamard gates and controlled phase shift gates, where is the number of qubits. This can be compared with the classical discrete Fourier transform, which takes gates (where is the number of bits), which is exponentially more than . However, the quantum Fourier transform acts on a quantum state, whereas the classical Fourier transform acts on a vector, so not every task that uses the classical Fourier transform can take advantage of this exponential speedup. The best quantum Fourier transform algorithms known today require only gates to achieve an efficient approximation.〔L. Hales, S. Hallgren, An improved quantum Fourier transform algorithm and applications, Proceedings of the 41st Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, p. 515, November 12–14, 2000〕 == Definition == The quantum Fourier transform is the classical discrete Fourier transform applied to the vector of amplitudes of a quantum state. The classical (unitary) Fourier transform acts on a vector in , (''x''0, ..., ''x''''N''−1) and maps it to the vector (''y''0, ..., ''y''''N''−1) according to the formula: : where is a ''N''th root of unity. Similarly, the quantum Fourier transform acts on a quantum state and maps it to a quantum state according to the formula: : with defined as above. This can also be expressed as the map : Equivalently, the quantum Fourier transform can be viewed as a unitary matrix (quantum gate, similar to a logic gate for classical computers) acting on quantum state vectors, where the unitary matrix is given by : Here is a primitive ''N''th root of unity. For example, in the case of we would find that , so : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quantum Fourier transform」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
