Quantum OFDM: A Novel Approach to Qubit Error Minimization

Quantum communication stands on the precipice of a transformative leap with the advent of Quantum Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (Q-OFDM). Drawing from the classical OFDM paradigm, Q-OFDM utilizes the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) and its inverse (IQFT) for high-fidelity information encoding and decoding across quantum channels. This study presents a novel Q-OFDM communication model that utilizes quantum superposition and entanglement to distribute data over many orthogonal quantum states, like frequency channels in conventional OFDM. Using the Qiskit platform, we meticulously analyze the bit error rate (BER) across various quantum rotations—Rx, Ry, and Rz—focusing on the rotation angles

degrees. Our simulations reveal critical insights into the BER behavior in response to quantum gate operations, with larger qubit counts showing intrinsic error reduction. Accentuating the Q-OFDM system's robustness against quantum noise and operational errors.
