An Accurate FPGA-Based Hardware Emulation on Quantum Fourier Transform

Khalil-Hani, M., Lee, Y.H. and Marsono, M.N.

Powerful parallelism is among the leading attractions towards quantum computing research. Before large-scale quantum computers become viable, the use of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology which can mimic the behavior of quantum parallelism is vital. In this paper, a methodology to perform mapping of quantum algorithms for efficient quantum hardware emulations is proposed. The case study to demonstrate the proposed methodology is the emulation of quantum Fourier transform. With the design considerations on the superposition and entangled input state as well as the choice of efficient hardware architecture, the proposed work provides a guideline for conducting accurate FPGA-based quantum hardware emulations for practical quantum applications.
