Efficient Quantum Modular Arithmetics for the ISQ Era (2311.08555v1)

Abstract: As we venture into the Intermediate-Scale Quantum (ISQ) era, the proficiency of modular arithmetic operations becomes pivotal for advancing quantum cryptographic algorithms. This study presents an array of quantum circuits, each precision-engineered for modular arithmetic functions critical to cryptographic applications. Central to our exposition are quantum modular adders, multipliers, and exponential operators, whose designs are rigorously optimized for ISQ devices. We provide a theoretical framework and practical implementations in the PennyLane quantum software, bridging the gap between conceptual and applied quantum computing. Our simulations validate the efficacy of these methodologies, offering a strategic compass for developing quantum algorithms that align with the rapid progression of quantum technology.
