Quantum Phase Estimation

Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) is a fundamental quantum subroutine that estimates the eigenvalues of a unitary operator. Developed by Alexei Kitaev in 1995, QPE combines controlled unitary evolution with the quantum Fourier transform to extract eigenvalues from quantum states with exponential precision scaling.
