Technology Mapping For Single Target Gate Based Circuits Using Boolean Functional Decomposition

Quantum computing offers a promising emerging technology due to the potential theoretical capacity of solving many important problems with exponentially less complexity. Since most of the known quantum algorithms include Boolean components, the design of quantum computers is often conducted by a two-stage approach. In a first step, the Boolean component is realized in reversible logic and then mapped to quantum gates in a second step. This paper describes a new mapping flow for determining quantum gate realizations for single-target gates (ST). Since each ST gate contains a Boolean control function, our method attempts to find a decomposition based on its BDD representation. It consists on breaking large ST gate into smaller ones using additional lines. Experiments show that we obtain smaller realizations when comparing to standard mapping.
