摘要

This paper proposes a quantum multiply-accumulator circuit (QMAC), which can perform the calculation on conventional integers faster than its classical counterpart. Whereas classically applying a multiply-adder (MAC) times to bit integers would require parallel steps, the hybrid QMAC needs only steps for the exact result and steps for an approximate result. The proposed circuit could potentially be embedded in a conventional computer architecture as a quantum device or accelerator, enabling a wide range of applications to execute faster.
