“…For a given N dimension the traditional discrete Fourier transform [15] is a linear operator on C
N mapping ( x
0 , x
1 ,…, x
N −1 ) to ( y
0 , y
1 ,…, y
N −1 ), where
The quantum Fourier transform (QFT) algorithm can be obtained from the traditional discrete Fourier transform [16] which is
QFT can be used in novel image encryption and decryption [17], where the quantum bit numbers of the quantum state | x 〉 are m , U
QFT is a unitary operator, and QFT is a 2 m -dimensional unitary transformation [18, 19]. The effect of (11) is to transform a unit quantum state into a superposition state.…”
