Quantum modular multipliers are a promising development in the field of quantum computing that aim to perform modular multiplication faster and more efficiently than classical algorithms. This is achieved by encoding the numbers being multiplied into quantum bits (qubits) and using quantum gates to manipulate them in a way that represents the calculation. Since quantum physics principles like superposition and entanglement dramatically speed up processing compared to conventional computing, many calculations may be run simultaneously. Quantum modular multipliers have the potential to have a significant impact in a range of fields, including cryptography and beyond, since they offer a faster and more efficient way to do modular multiplications. Several fields, including simulation, optimization, and cryptography, can benefit from the use of quantum computing.One of the crucial operations in many of these applications is modular multiplication, a sort of multiplication that requires obtaining the remainder of the product of two numbers when divided by a third number. In this paper, we provide a novel modular multiplication method based on a quantum algorithm. To examine its complexity and compare it to that of current adders, we employ a novel form of adder that is intended to not retain the final carry. This adder's decrease percentage in terms of gates and depth is roughly 70%. Our method takes advantage of the special qualities of qubits to complete the computation significantly more quickly than conventional algorithms. It is based on the fundamental ideas of quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement.
