J. Qtm. Info. , Vol. 3, 413 (2005)", "categories": [ "quant-ph" ], "abstract": "The Quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is a key ingredient in most quantum algorithms. We have compared various spin-based quantum computing schemes to implement the QFT from the point of view of their actual time-costs and the accuracy of the implementation. We focus here on an interesting decomposition of the QFT as a product of the non-selective Hadamard transformation followed by multiqubit gates corresponding to square- and higher-roots of controlled-NOT gates. This decomposition requires only O(n) operations and is thus linear in the number of qubits $n$. The schemes were implemented on a two-qubit NMR quantum information processor and the resultant density matrices reconstructed using standard quantum state tomography techniques. Their experimental fidelities have been measured and compared.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-11-06T19:28:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum fourier transform", "efficient implementations", "experimental perspective", "two-qubit nmr quantum information processor", "standard quantum state tomography techniques" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002quant.ph.11030D" } } }
