QC2.8 Quantum Phase Estimation

This skill introduces Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) as a fundamental quantum algorithm for estimating the phase associated with an eigenvalue of a unitary operator. Learners study how the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) is combined with controlled unitary operations and phase kickback to estimate the phase associated with an eigenstate. Emphasis is placed on executing the algorithm for small examples and interpreting the measured output.
