Abstract

In this work, we provide an overview of circuits for quantum computing. We introduce gates used in quantum computation and then present resource cost measurements used to evaluate circuits made from these gates. We then illustrate how the gates shown are then combined into quantum circuits for basic arithmetic functions. Architectures for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are shown. We demonstrate how to calculate the resource costs of quantum circuits. We conclude this overview with by illustrating an application of the elementary quantum circuits for the image rotation operation.
