  1. Resources are shown for the method developed in this work for two cases: one minimizes the number of logical qubits (min-Qu) and the second case when one minimizes the number of Toffoli gates (min-T). For comparison we also present resources obtained for algorithms in second quantization with dual plane waves43 and first quantization with plane waves but without the data loading25. Bold font indicates smaller value.
