Spin-Torque-Based Quantum Fourier Transform

Abstract

Quantum computing (QC) provides an efficient platform to solve complex problems such as number factoring and searching. The quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is an integral part of quantum algorithms for integer number factoring, phase estimation, discrete algorithms, interchange of position and momentum states, quantum key distribution protocol, multiparty quantum telecommunication, and quantum arithmetic. The theoretical and experimental implementations of QFT on various platforms have been proposed by researchers. Spin-torque-based qubit(s) manipulation is one of the encouraging solid-state device technologies. However, to date, QFT is not realized by spin-torque-based QC architecture. In this article, the spin-torque-based architecture has been modeled with the help of optimized decomposition of quantum circuits for the QFT. Moreover, an optimal-depth Clifford + T gates set-based quantum circuit is utilized to implement the QFT. The performance analysis in terms of fidelity (>99%), magnitude, and phase difference of respective density matrices for different forms of three-qubit QFT provides a novel way of its physical realization to address the complex problems.
