%X This study presents an analysis of the power pattern of  phased-array antennas (PAs) using the quantum Fourier  transform (QFT). Within the framework of quantum computing  (QC), a tailored procedure is developed to compute the power  pattern based on the complex excitations of the PA elements,  leveraging the principles and theories of quantum mechanics.  A representative set of numerical results, obtained using a   quantum computer emulator, is reported and discussed to validate  the proposed method, highlighting its features in comparison to the  classical approach based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT).
