Moving forward: A non-search based synthesis method toward efficient CNOT-based quantum circuit synthesis algorithms

Quantum information processing is in the beginning stages. Among open research problems, quantum circuit synthesis has recently received significant attention. In this paper, we propose a new non-search based moving forward synthesis algorithm (MOSAIC) for CNOT-based quantum circuits. Compared with the widely used search-based methods, MOSAIC is guaranteed to produce a result and can lead to a solution with much fewer steps. To evaluate the proposed algorithms, different circuits taken from the literature are used. The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
