The 3-Satisfiability Problem (3-SAT) is a demanding combinatorial problem, of central importance among the non-deterministic polynomial (NP) complete problems, with applications in circuit design, artificial intelligence and logistics. Even…

We give a general method of construting quantum circuit for random \QTR{it}{satisfiability} (SAT) problems with the basic logic gates such as multi-qubit controlled-NOT and NOT gates. The sizes of these circuits are almost the same as the…
