Dyadic quantum Fourier transform circuit
ID: dyadic-quantum-fourier-transform-circuit
In most-significant-bit-first order, let and . On a computational-basis state, process wire with a Hadamard gate, then controlled phase gates controlled by unprocessed wire for each . Wire becomes . Reversing the final wire order yields the positive-exponent quantum Fourier transform. There are Hadamard gates and controlled phase gates. Physical reversal costs swap operators, each expressible as three controlled-NOT gates, themselves implemented with Hadamard gates and a Controlled-Z gate. Thus the entire construction uses gates from the specified family.
