Summary :

This paper presents a technique to reduce the quantum cost by making temporary changes to the functionality of a given Boolean function. This technique is one of the very few known methods based on manipulating Exclusive-or Sum-Of-Products (ESOP) expressions to reduce the quantum cost of the corresponding circuit. The idea involves adding Mixed Polarity Multiple-Control Toffoli (MPMCT) gates to temporarily change the functionality of the given function, so that the modified function has a smaller quantum cost. To compensate for the temporary change, additional gates are inserted into the circuit. The proposed method finds a small ESOP expression for the given function, and then finds a good pair of product terms in the ESOP expression so that the quantum cost can be reduced by applying the transformation. The proposed approach is likely to produce a better quantum cost reduction than the existing methods, and indeed experimental results confirm this expectation.
