Abstract
We give two quantum algorithms for computing (twisted) Kloosterman sums attached to a finite field of elements. The first algorithm computes a quantum state containing, as its coefficients with respect to the standard basis, all Kloosterman sums for twisted by a given multiplicative character, and runs in time polynomial in . The second algorithm computes a single Kloosterman sum to a prescribed precision, and runs in time quasi-linear in .
