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(nn), a naive brute-force search requires a computational complexity of O(1/ε(n21))O(1/\varepsilon^{(n^2 - 1)}) to achieve an approximation with error ε\varepsilon. In contrast, by using our method, the complexity can be reduced to O(n2logε/ε((n21)/2))O(-n^2 \log\varepsilon/\varepsilon^{((n^2 - 1)/2)}). This method requires almost no assumptions and can be applied to a variety of gate sets, including Clifford+TT and Clifford+VV. 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.
