Synthesis Techniques for Ternary Quantum Logic

Synthesis of ternary quantum circuits involves basic ternary gates and logic operations in the ternary quantum domain. Works that define ternary algebra and their applications for ternary quantum logic realization, are very few. In this paper, we express a ternary logic function in terms of projection operations including a new one. We demonstrate how to realize a few new multi-qutrit ternary gates in terms of generalized ternary gates and projection operations. We then employ our synthesis method to design ternary adder circuits which have better cost than that obtained by earlier method.
