Abstract
Quantum computing allows for undertaking certains problems in an efficient manner, although they may be considered intractable in classic computing. This is possible due to the specific features of quantum computing, such as superposition and entanglement. In this paper, a matrix representation of quantum addition using QFT has been described, focused on adding 2 -qubit strings and 3 -qubit strings. In each case, a schematic diagram is shown, along with two alternative implementations, followed by methods to find out QFT and IQFT matrices, and eventually, a step-by-step instance of an addition.
