Quantum Fourier transforms (QFT) have gained increased attention with the rise of quantum walks, boson sampling, and quantum metrology. Here we present and demonstrate a general technique that simplifies the construction of QFT interferometers using both path and polarization modes. On that basis, we first observed the generalized Hong-Ou-Mandel effect with up to four photons. Furthermore, we directly exploited number-path entanglement generated in these QFT interferometers and demonstrated optical phase supersensitivities deterministically.

We present some basic integer arithmetic quantum circuits, such as adders and multipliers-accumulators of various forms, as well as diagonal operators, which operate on multilevel qudits. The integers to be processed are represented in an alternative basis after they have been Fourier transformed. Several arithmetic circuits operating on Fourier transformed integers have appeared in the literature for two level qubits. Here we extend these techniques on multilevel qudits, as they may offer some advantages relative to qubits implementations. The arithmetic circuits presented can be used as basic building blocks for higher level algorithms such as quantum phase estimation, quantum simulation, quantum optimization etc., but they can also be used in the implementation of a quantum fractional Fourier transform as it is shown in a companion work presented separately.
In this work, we introduce a definition of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on Euclidean lattices in $R^n$, that generalizes the $n$-th fold DFT of the integer lattice $Z^n$ to arbitrary lattices. This definition is not applicable for every lattice, but can be defined on lattices known as Systematic Normal Form (SysNF) introduced in cite{ES16}. Systematic Normal Form lattices are sets of integer vectors that satisfy a single homogeneous modular equation, which itself satisfies a certain number-theoretic property. Such lattices form a dense set in the space of $n$-dimensional lattices, and can be used to approximate efficiently any lattice. This implies that for every lattice $L$ a DFT can be computed efficiently on a lattice near $L$. Our proof of the statement above uses arguments from quantum computing, and as an application of our definition we show a quantum algorithm for sampling from discrete distributions on lattices, that extends our ability to sample efficiently from the discrete Gaussian distribution cite{GPV08} to any distribution that is sufficiently smooth. We conjecture that studying the eigenvectors of the newly-defined lattice DFT may provide new insights into the structure of lattices, especially regarding hard computational problems, like the shortest vector problem.
The Quantum Fourier Transformation ($QFT$) is a key building block for a whole wealth of quantum algorithms. Despite its proven efficiency, only a few proof-of-principle demonstrations have been reported. Here we utilize $QFT$ to enhance the performance of a quantum sensor. We implement the $QFT$ algorithm in a hybrid quantum register consisting of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center electron spin and three nuclear spins. The $QFT$ runs on the nuclear spins and serves to process the sensor - NV electron spin signal. We demonstrate $QFT$ for quantum (spins) and classical signals (radio frequency (RF) ) with near Heisenberg limited precision scaling. We further show the application of $QFT$ for demultiplexing the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal of two distinct target nuclear spins. Our results mark the application of a complex quantum algorithm in sensing which is of particular interest for high dynamic range quantum sensing and nanoscale NMR spectroscopy experiments.
Quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is a key ingredient of many quantum algorithms where a considerable amount of ancilla qubits and gates are often needed to form a Hilbert space large enough for high-precision results. Qubit recycling reduces the number of ancilla qubits to one but imposes the requirement of repeated measurements and feedforward within the coherence time of the qubits. Moreover, recycling only applies to certain cases where QFT can be carried out in a semi-classical way. Here, we report a novel approach based on two harmonic resonators which form a high-dimensional Hilbert space for the realization of QFT. By employing the all-resonant and perfect state-transfer methods, we develop a protocol that transfers an unknown multi-qubit state to one resonator. QFT is performed by the free evolution of the two resonators with a cross-Kerr interaction. Then, the fully-quantum result can be localized in the second resonator by a projective measurement. Qualitative analysis shows that a 2^10-dimensional QFT can be realized in current superconducting quantum circuits which paves the way for implementing various quantum algorithms in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era.
Fourier transform spectroscopy with classical interferometry corresponds to the measurement of a single-photon intensity spectrum from the viewpoint of the particle nature of light. In contrast, the Fourier transform of two-photon quantum interference patterns provides the intensity spectrum of the two photons as a function of the sum or difference frequency of the constituent photons. This unique feature of quantum interferometric spectroscopy offers a different type of spectral information from the classical measurement and may prove useful for nonlinear spectroscopy with two-photon emission. Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of two-photon quantum interference of photon pairs emitted via biexcitons in the semiconductor CuCl. Besides applying Fourier transform to quantum interference patterns, we reconstruct the intensity spectrum of the biexciton luminescence in the two-photon sum or difference frequency. We discuss the connection between the reconstructed spectra and exciton states in CuCl as well as the capability of quantum interferometry in solid-state spectroscopy.
