Overview of this book

Dancing with Qubits, Second Edition, is a comprehensive quantum computing textbook that starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it can have a major impact. A full description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings of quantum computing follows, helping you better understand concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up are circuits and algorithms, both basic and sophisticated, as well as a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, the book looks to the future and gives you guidance on understanding how further developments may affect you. This new edition is updated throughout with more than 100 new exercises and includes new chapters on NISQ algorithms and quantum machine learning. Understanding quantum computing requires a lot of math, and this book doesn't shy away from the necessary math concepts you'll need. Each topic is explained thoroughly and with helpful examples, leaving you with a solid foundation of knowledge in quantum computing that will help you pursue and leverage quantum-led technologies.

10.1 Quantum Fourier Transform

The Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) is widely used in quantum computing. We need it in this chapter to estimate eigenvalues via the function order and period finding algorithm in section 10.5. We then use that in Shor’s factoring algorithm in section 10.7. If that weren’t enough, the Hadamard H is the 1-qubit QFT, and we’ve seen many examples of its use. algorithm$Quantum Fourier Transform Quantum Fourier Transform

Other applications of the QFT include quantum Monte Carlo, 77 and the Harrow-Hassidim-Loyd (HHL) algorithm for solving systems of linear equations under restrictive conditions. 105 63 algorithm$Monte Carlo Monte Carlo algorithm algorithm$Harrow-Hassidim-Loyd Harrow-Hassidim-Loyd algorithm algorithm$HHL HHL algorithm

Most treatments of the QFT start by comparing it to the classical Discrete Fourier Transform and then the Fast Fourier Transform. If you don’t know either of these, don’t worry...
