Abstract
We show that the -depth of any single-qubit -rotation can be reduced to if a certain catalyst state is available. To achieve an -approximation, it suffices to have a catalyst state of size polynomial in . This implies that admits a finite universal gate set consisting of Clifford+. In particular, there are catalytic constant -depth circuits that approximate multi-qubit Toffoli, adder, and quantum Fourier transform arbitrarily well. We also show that the catalyst state can be prepared in time polynomial in .
