Abstract
Using the quantum fast Fourier transform in linear optics the input mode annihilation operators are transformed into output mode annihilation operators . We show how to implement experimentally such transformations based on the Cooley–Tukey algorithm, by the use of beam splitters and phase shifters in a linear optical system. Optical systems implementing 1,2, and 3 qubits discrete Fourier transform (DFT) are described, and a general method for implementing the n-qubit DFT is analyzed. These transformations are used on various input radiation states by which phase estimation and order finding can be computed.
