Quantum State Analysis and Optimal Logic Synthesis for Linear Nearest Neighbor Architecture

Abstract

Real quantum computing technologies have different restrictions and constraints which need to be considered during circuit synthesis. In certain technologies, only physically adjacent qubits can interact. It is common to use a pair of SWAP gates to bring the control and target qubits of any quantum gate to adjacent lines and maintain correct circuit functionality. This paper introduces a new method to synthesize linear nearest neighbor quantum circuit on the base of the analysis of quantum state in circuit. For all 3-qubit quantum circuit, experimental results shows that our algorithm can reduce the quantum cost by approximately 30% on average compared with one recent proposed method.
