Yes / Two methods for fast Fourier transforms are used in a quantum context. The first method is for systems with dimension of the Hilbert space with d an odd integer, and is inspired by the Cooley-Tukey formalism. The ‘large Fourier transform’ is expressed as a sequence of n ‘small Fourier transforms’ (together with some other transforms) in quantum systems with d-dimensional Hilbert space. Limitations of the method are discussed. In some special cases, the n Fourier transforms can be performed in parallel. The second method is for systems with dimension of the Hilbert space with odd integers coprime to each other. It is inspired by the Good formalism, which in turn is based on the Chinese reminder theorem. In this case also the ‘large Fourier transform’ is expressed as a sequence of n ‘small Fourier transforms’ (that involve some constants related to the number theory that describes the formalism). The ‘small Fourier transforms’ can be performed in a classical computer or in a quantum computer (in which case we have the additional well known advantages of quantum Fourier transform circuits). In the case that the small Fourier transforms are performed with a classical computer, complexity arguments for both methods show the reduction in computational time from to . The second method is also used for the fast calculation of Wigner and Weyl functions, in quantum systems with large finite dimension of the Hilbert space.
