Abstract
Quantum circuit synthesis is a crucial task in quantum computing, aiming to transform a given high-level logic quantum operation into a sequence of elementary quantum gates. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on special characteristics of quantum operations or complex mathematical operations. While effective, they tend to incur high computational costs because they do not fully exploit the underlying structure of the quantum operation. In this work, we introduce a novel synthesis approach leveraging the LimTDD (Local Invertible Map Tensor Decision Diagram) data structure, known for its high compression efficiency and ability to identify isomorphic structures within tensors.By utilising LimTDD, our algorithm achieves efficient synthesis for specific types of quantum circuits, significantly reducing computational overhead. Moreover, the ability to extract isomorphic operators allows for reducing the entanglements, making our method particularly effective in accelerating other synthesis algorithms. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach through experiments, showing substantial improvements in gate count and synthesis time compared to existing methods. Our work not only provides a powerful tool for quantum circuit synthesis but also highlights the potential of LimTDD in advancing the field of quantum computing.
