A Universal Quantum Circuit Design for Periodical Functions

Abstract

We propose a universal quantum circuit design that can estimate any arbitrary one-dimensional periodic functions based on the corresponding Fourier expansion. The quantum circuit contains N-qubits to store the information on the different N-Fourier components and M+2M+2 auxiliary qubits with M=log2NM = \lceil{\log_2{N}}\rceil for control operations. The desired output will be measured in the last qubit qNq_N with a time complexity of the computation of O(N2log2N2)O(N^2\lceil \log_2N\rceil^2). We illustrate the approach by constructing the quantum circuit for the square wave function with accurate results obtained by direct simulations using the IBM-QASM simulator. The approach is general and can be applied to any arbitrary periodic function.
