Abstract

In this project, an positive integer addition algorithm for quantum computing is analyzed which does not makes use of carry bits. The paper shows a general parallelization method. Using this method, the circuit runs in O(n) time instead of O(n^2). The algorithm is executed with different input sizes and error rates such that usable values are found.
