Abstract

This paper explores a novel approach to accelerating matrix multiplication by leveraging the principles of quantum state superposition. Traditional matrix multiplication is computationally intensive, particularly for large matrices, and is a core component of many scientific and engineering applications. We propose a hardware acceleration strategy that maps the matrix multiplication process onto a quantum circuit exploiting the inherent parallelism offered by quantum superposition. The core idea involves representing matrix elements as quantum states and performing the multiplication operations using controlled quantum gates. This approach aims to potentially achieve exponential speedups compared to classical algorithms. We detail the theoretical framework, outlining the quantum circuit design, and discuss the key challenges and potential improvements associated with this methodology. The primary focus is on the algorithmic design and conceptual framework rather than experimental validation, offering a foundational exploration of this concept.
