Q-Map: Quantum Circuit Implementation of Boolean Functions

Quantum computing has gained attention in recent years due to the significant progress in quantum computing technology. Today many companies like IBM, Google and Microsoft have developed quantum computers and simulators for research and commercial use. The development of quantum techniques and algorithms is essential to exploit the full power of quantum computers. In this paper we propose a simple visual technique (we call Q-Map) for quantum realisation of classical Boolean logic circuits. The proposed method utilises concepts from Boolean algebra to produce a quantum circuit with minimal number of quantum gates.
