Implementation of the Quantum Fourier Transform in Quantum Optical Processors Using Linear Optics with Imperfect Circuits
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper investigates the implementation of the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) using linear optical devices and the Cooley-Tukey algorithm, with a focus on the impact of device imperfections and phase errors due to optical path differences. It examines real-world defects in optical gate circuits, systematically analyzing these imperfections for systems with two, three, and general γ-qubit states, providing a comprehensive formula for the γ-qubit case.
