New shallow circuits offer alternative to Quantum Fourier Transform

Researchers have developed a new circuit construction that offers a shallower alternative to the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT), which is crucial for algorithms like Shor's algorithm. This new approach, termed HP-L circuits, utilizes Hadamards and controlled-Phase gates and preserves key properties of the QFT, such as shift invariance. The proposed $\mathcal{O}(n)$ HP-1 circuit, a more efficient variant, has been numerically implemented in Shor's algorithm, incorporating an advanced neural network for classical post-processing. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient quantum algorithms, potentially impacting future AI development that relies on quantum computation.

    $\mathcal{O}(n)$ alternative to Quantum Fourier Transform with efficient neural net classical post-processing

    arXiv:2605.16998v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) is employed by hidden subgroup problem (HSP) algorithms, including Shor's algorithm for factoring. The circuit depth of the QFT remains challenging for near-term hardware. To find shallo…
