• Abstract summary: Unitary decomposition is a widely used method to map quantum algorithms to an arbitrary set of quantum gates. We show that our implementation generates circuits with half the number of CNOT gates and a third of the total circuit length. In addition to that, it is also up to 10 times as fast.

• Abstract: Unitary decomposition is a widely used method to map quantum algorithms to an arbitrary set of quantum gates. Efficient implementation of this decomposition allows for translation of bigger unitary gates into elementary quantum operations, which is key to executing these algorithms on existing quantum computers. The decomposition can be used as an aggressive optimization method for the whole circuit, as well as to test part of an algorithm on a quantum accelerator. For selection and implementation of the decomposition algorithm, perfect qubits are assumed. We base our decomposition technique on Quantum Shannon Decomposition which generates O((3/4)*4^n) controlled-not gates for an n-qubit input gate. The resulting circuits are up to 10 times shorter than other methods in the field. When comparing our implementation to Qubiter, we show that our implementation generates circuits with half the number of CNOT gates and a third of the total circuit length. In addition to that, it is also up to 10 times as fast. Further optimizations are proposed to take advantage of potential underlying structure in the input or intermediate matrices, as well as to minimize the execution time of the decomposition.
