Synthesis of Quantum Circuits Using Genetic Algorithm (original) (raw)

The need of efficient technique for synthesis of quantum circuits is of immense importance in defining efficient hardware for quantum computers. In this work, a new automated approach for quantum circuit synthesis using genetic algorithm has been presented. The methodology of building a quantum circuit corresponding to a given quantum operation, expressed in terms of a unitary transform matrix, utilizing a specified quantum gate library has been proposed in this paper. Experimental results show that this technique using GA is better than other methods used for this purpose.
