Almost-Optimal Computational Basis State Transpositions

Quantum Physics 2024-08-12 v2

Abstract

We give an explicit construction to perform any nn-qubit computational basis state transposition using Θ(n)\Theta(n) gates. This nearly coincides with the lower bound Ω(n/log(nd))\Omega(n/\log(nd)) on worst-case and average-case gate complexity to perform transpositions using a dd-element gate-set, which we also prove.
