Rules for Synthesizing Quantum Boolean Circuits Using Minimized Nearest-Neighbour Templates

Quantum Boolean circuit (QBC) synthesis issues are becoming a key area of research in the domain of quantum computing. While Minterm gate based synthesis and Reed-Muller based canonical decomposition techniques are adopted commonly, nearest neighbor synthesis technique for QBC utilizes the quantum logic gates involving only the adjacent target and control qbits for a given quantum network. Instead of Quantum Boolean circuit synthesis using (SNOT gate, we have chosen the template-based technique for synthesis of QBC. This work defines new minimization rules using nearest neighbor templates, which results in reduced number of quantum gates and circuit levels. The need of proper relative placements of the quantum gates in order to achieve the minimum gate configuration has also been discussed.
