Hardware emulation of quantumsystems can mimicmore efficiently the parallel behaviour of quantumcomputations, thus allowing\nhigher processing speed-up than software simulations. In this paper, an efficient hardware emulation method that employs a serialparallel\nhardware architecture targeted for field programmable gate array (FPGA) is proposed. Quantum Fourier transform and\nGrover�s search are chosen as case studies in this work since they are the core of many useful quantum algorithms. Experimental\nwork shows that, with the proposed emulation architecture, a linear reduction in resource utilization is attained against the pipeline\nimplementations proposed in prior works.The proposed work contributes to the formulation of a proof-of-concept baseline FPGA\nemulation framework with optimization on datapath designs that can be extended to emulate practical large-scale quantumcircuits.
