contents We propose a simple quantum algorithm for implementing the diffusion step of grid-based Bayesian filters. The method encodes the advected state density and the process noise density into quantum registers and realizes diffusion using a quantum Fourier transform--based adder. This avoids the explicit convolution required in classical implementations and the repeated coin-flip operations used in quantum random walk approaches. Numerical simulations using a gate-based quantum computing simulator confirm that the proposed approach reproduces the desired probability densities while requiring significantly fewer quantum gates and much shallower circuit depth.
