FPGA-based quantum circuit emulation: A case study on Quantum Fourier transform

Hardware emulation based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform is vital to harness the power of quantum parallelism. As resource requirement grows exponentially in classical modeling quantum system, an optimum hardware architecture is crucial to emulate practical quantum circuits. Quantum Fourier transform (QFT) finds application in several critical quantum algorithms. In this work, experiments are conducted based on QFT to identify suitable qubit representation and hardware design technique. Experimental results show that 24-bit fixed point representation and serial architecture achieve optimal computation accuracy and resource utilization in QFT circuit emulation.
