Abstract
We propose a quantum analogue of Bluestein's algorithm (QBA) that implements an exact -point Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) for arbitrary . Our construction factors the -dimensional QFT unitary into three diagonal quadratic-phase gates and two standard radix-2 QFT subcircuits of size (with ). This achieves asymptotic gate complexity and uses qubits, matching the performance of a power-of-two QFT on qubits while avoiding the need to embed into a larger Hilbert space. We validate the correctness of the algorithm through a concrete implementation in Qiskit and classical simulation, confirming that QBA produces the exact -point discrete Fourier transform on arbitrary-length inputs.
