Abstract

In this paper, the problem of constructing an efficient quantum circuit for the imple-mentation of an arbitrary quantum computation is addressed. To this end, a basic blockbased on the cosine-sine decomposition method is suggested which contains l qubits.In addition, a previously proposed quantum-logic synthesis method based on quantumShannon decomposition is recursively applied to reach unitary gates over l qubits. Then,the basic block is used and some optimizations are applied to remove redundant gates.It is shown that the exact value of l affects the number of one-qubit and CNOT gates inthe proposed method. In comparison to the previous synthesis methods, the value of l isexamined consequently to improve either the number of CNOT gates or the total numberof gates. The proposed approach is further analyzed by considering the nearest neighborlimitation. According to our evaluation, the number of CNOT gates is increased by atmost a factor of 5/3 if the nearest neighbor interaction is applied.
