• Abstract: We present a complete classification of integrable Yang-Baxter quantum circuits with open boundary conditions and arbitrary circuit geometries. Starting from the standard transfer-matrix construction with two types of staggered inhomogeneities, we derive a general mapping that determines the arrangement of circuit gates in terms of the inhomogeneities and the system size. We conjecture that time-periodic quantum circuits are integrable whenever the local bulk and boundary gates satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation and the same bulk gate is applied exactly once per period to every nearest-neighbor pair of spins. Our construction also provides an algorithm to detect Yang-Baxter integrability for circuits with arbitrary geometries. Furthermore, we introduce a third type of inhomogeneity, denoted by $ρ$, and demonstrate that the minimum possible circuit depth is four. We show that when these $ρ$-inhomogeneities are placed at the endpoints and in their immediate neighborhood, the resulting boundary gates can be interpreted as single gates acting on multiple sites. Our construction is fully general and applies to regular $R$-matrices, both of difference and non-difference type, together with their associated boundary matrices. As an application, we consider two-qubit gates corresponding to 6- and 8-vertex $R$-matrices of non-difference form satisfying the Yang-Baxter equation, and we construct the associated reflection matrices that generate integrable quantum circuits.
