Clifford+V synthesis for multi-qubit unitary gates
Abstract
We developed a general framework for synthesizing target gates by using a finite set of basic gates, which is a crucial step in quantum compilation. When approximating a gate in SU(), a naive brute-force search requires a computational complexity of to achieve an approximation with error . In contrast, by using our method, the complexity can be reduced to . This method requires almost no assumptions and can be applied to a variety of gate sets, including Clifford+ and Clifford+. Further, we introduce a suboptimal but short run-time algorithm for synthesizing multi-qubit controlled gates. This approach highlights the role of subgroup structures in reducing synthesis complexity and opens a new direction of study on the compilation of multi-qubit gates. The framework is broadly applicable to different universal gate sets, and our analysis suggests that it can serve as a foundation for resource-efficient quantum compilation in near-term architectures.
