<br>

1- [Joseph Fourier](*) **(1822)** <br>
──────────────
* Developed the mathematical framework for the Fourier Transform, which is foundational in quantum mechanics and quantum computing.

- Formula for Fourier Transform:

$\huge \color{DeepSkyBlue} \hat{f}(k) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) \, e^{-2\pi i k x} \, dx$
1. **Leonhard Euler (1748)** <br>
──────────────

<br>
* Developed the [Euler's Formula](), which links exponential functions to trigonometric functions. It is fundamental in wave mechanics and quantum state representation.
* **Euler's Formula:**
$\huge \color{DeepSkyBlue} e^{i\theta} = \cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta)$

- Formula for [Inverse]() Fourier Transform:

$\huge \color{DeepSkyBlue} f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{f}(k) \, e^{2\pi i k x} \, dk$
Where:
- **\( e \)**: Base of the natural logarithm.
- **\( \theta \)**: Phase angle.
- **\( i \)**: Imaginary unit.

<br>
Euler's formula is essential for describing quantum wavefunctions and visualizing oscillations in the complex plane.

[Where]():
- $\large \color{DeepSkyBlue} f(x)$ is the original function in the spatial domain.
- $\large \color{DeepSkyBlue} \hat{f}(k)$ is the transformed function in the frequency domain.
- $\large \color{DeepSkyBlue} x$ represents position, and $k$ represents momentum or frequency.

[**Relevance in Quantum Mechanics and Computing:**]()
- **Quantum Mechanics**: Converts wavefunctions between position and momentum spaces.
- **Quantum Computing**: Basis for the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT), essential for algorithms like Shor's factoring algorithm.
