In this paper, we suggest a method to derive lower bounds for the complexity of non-branching programs whose elementary operations are unitary transformations over two complex numbers. This method provides us with estimates of the form Ω(n log n) for unitary operators CnCn, in particular, for the Fourier and Walsh transformations. For n = 2k we find precise values of the complexity of those transformations.
