The Hidden Subgroup Problem for Generalized Quaternions
Julia Tumasova Upton · 2010
The hidden subgroup problem is a pivotal problem in quantum computation since it reflects the structure of tasks for which quantum algorithms significantly outperform classical algorithms. In this paper, a quantum algorithm that solves the hidden subgroup problem over the generalized quaternion group is developed. The algorithm employs the abelian quantum Fourier transform and Kuperberg sieve to reveal the hidden subgroup.
