Optimizing the depth of quantum implementations of linear layers

ePrint Report: Optimizing the depth of quantum implementations of linear layers

Chengkai Zhu, Zhenyu Huang

Synthesis and optimization of quantum circuits are important and fundamental research topics in quantum computation, due to the fact that qubits are very precious and decoherence time which determines the computation time available is very limited. Specifically in cryptography, identifying the minimum quantum resources for implementing an encryption process is crucial in evaluating the quantum security of symmetric-key ciphers. In this work, we investigate the …
