Abelian hidden-subgroup Fourier sampling

ID: abelian-hidden-subgroup-fourier-sampling

Measuring the coset state in the group shift operator eigenbasis samples uniformly from the annihilator of a subgroup of a finite abelian group . Indeed,
so the character-sum cancellation lemma gives probability on and zero elsewhere. The modulus of is one, so the offset has no effect on the distribution.
