A Rudimentary Quantum Compiler
Abstract
We present a new algorithm for reducing an arbitrary unitary matrix into a sequence of elementary operations (operations such as controlled-nots and qubit rotations). Such a sequence of operations can be used to manipulate an array of quantum bits (i.e., a quantum computer). We report on a C++ program called "Qubiter" that implements our algorithm. Qubiter source code is publicly available.
