Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) of a Single Qubit is Hadamard Transform

Below is the definition of QFT as illustrated in the YouTube lecture by Abraham Asfaw.

The LaTex code for the equation is as follows and also available here.

Latex
| \tilde{x} \rangle \equiv ~ QFT ~ |x \rangle ~ \equiv \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}\sum_{y=0}^{N-1}{e^{\frac{2\pi ix y}{N}}} ~| y \rangle

For the one qubit case, N = 21 = 2:

Latex
| \tilde{x} \rangle \equiv ~ QFT ~ |x \rangle ~ \equiv \frac{1}{\sqrt{}N}\sum_{y=0}^{N-1}{e^{\frac{2\pi ix y}{N}}} ~| y \rangle

Latex
\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sum_{y=0}^{1}{e^{\pi ix y}} ~| y \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[~e^{i \pi x 0}~ | 0 \rangle ~ + ~ e^{i \pi x 1}~| 1 \rangle] = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[~|0\rangle ~+~e^{i \pi x}~|1 \rangle~]

When x = 0:

Latex
QFT~| 0 \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[~|0\rangle ~+~e^{i \pi 0}~|1 \rangle~] = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[~| 0 \rangle + |1 \rangle~] = |+\rangle

When x = 1:


Latex
QFT~| 1 \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[~|0\rangle ~+~e^{i \pi 1}~|1 \rangle~] = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[~| 0 \rangle - |1 \rangle~] = |-\rangle

Hence the QFT of a single qubit is essentially the Hadamard transform.

苏轼《观潮》— 庐山烟雨浙江潮

苏轼《观潮》— 庐山烟雨浙江潮
观潮 · 苏轼(宋)
庐山烟雨浙江潮,
未至千般恨不消。
到得还来别无事,
庐山烟雨浙江潮。

这首七绝相传为苏轼晚年所作(一说书赠幼子苏过),以禅理入诗。庐山的烟雨、浙江的钱塘潮,都是闻名天下的胜景;未曾亲见时,心中千般向往,“恨不消”;可真正到过、看过之后,却发现不过如此,于是“别无事”,末句原样重复首句——山水依旧是那山水。这正暗合禅宗“见山是山、见山不是山、见山仍是山”的三重境界:执念、勘破、回归平常心。文字极简,意味深长。
