contents Quantum signal processing (QSP) relies on a historically costly pre-processing step, "QSP-processing/phase-factor finding." QSP-processing is now a developed topic within quantum algorithms literature, and a beginner accessible review of QSP-processing is overdue. This work provides a whirlwind tour through QSP conventions and pre-processing methods, beginning from a pedagogically accessible QSP convention. We then review QSP conventions associated with three common polynomial types: real polynomials with definite parity, sums of reciprocal/anti-reciprocal Chebyshev polynomials, and complex polynomials. We demonstrate how the conventions perform with respect to three criteria: circuit length, polynomial conditions, and pre-processing methods. We then review the recently introduced Wilson method for QSP-processing and give conditions where it can succeed with bound error. Although the resulting bound is not computationally efficient, we demonstrate that the method succeeds with linear error propagation for relevant target polynomials and precision regimes, including the Jacobi-Anger expansion used in Hamiltonian simulation algorithms. We then apply our benchmarks to three QSP-processing methods for QSP circuits and show that a method introduced by Berntson and Sünderhauf outperforms both the Wilson method and the standard optimization strategy for complex polynomials.
