Understanding Quantum Fourier Transform via Classical Analogies
Surveyed the evolution of the Fourier transform from classical
signal processing to quantum computation. Analyzed how Quantum
Fourier Transform (QFT) enables periodicity detection in quantum
states, as used in Simon’s and Shor’s algorithms. Compared
classical Fourier and Laplace transforms, and examined
challenges in defining a Quantum Laplace Transform (QLT) due to
non-unitarity, highlighting recent block-encoding
approximations.
