abstract: 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).
