Advanced Computer Architecture
The quantum fourier transform is a quantum algorithm that efficiently computes the discrete Fourier transform of a quantum state. It is a critical component in many quantum algorithms, significantly speeding up processes that would be exponentially slower on classical computers. By leveraging the principles of superposition and entanglement, it enables faster computations in tasks such as period finding and phase estimation.
