Abstract
Quantum computers utilize the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to solve computational problems more efficiently than traditional computers. Gate-model quantum computers are fundamental to implement near-term quantum computer architectures and quantum devices. Here, a quantum algorithm is defined for the circuit depth reduction of gate-model quantum computers. The proposed solution evaluates the reduced time complexity equivalent of a reference quantum circuit. We prove the complexity of the quantum algorithm and the achievable reduction in circuit depth. The method provides a tractable solution to reduce the time complexity and physical layer costs of quantum computers.
Highlights
The aim of the proposed framework is to reduce the time complexity of an arbitrary reference quantum circuit and a maximization of the objective function of the computational problem fed into the quantum computer
The method defines the reduced time complexity equivalent of the reference quantum circuit and recovers the reference output quantum state via the reduced time complexity quantum circuit

Summary
Gate-model quantum computers are realized by unitary operators (quantum gates) and quantum states[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29]. Gate-model quantum computer implementations are affected by the problem of high time complexities and a universal (i.e., platform independent) and tractable solution for the time complexity reduction is essential Relevant implication of this problem is the high economic cost of the physical apparatuses required for experimentally implementing practical quantum computation: the high economic cost of the high-precision quantum hardware elements required in the implementation of high-performance quantum circuits. We define a quantum algorithm for the time complexity reduction of any quantum circuit of quantum computers set up with an arbitrary number of unitary gates. The proposed framework and the defined quantum algorithm are universal since they have no requirements for the structure of the reference (e.g., non-reduced) quantum circuit subject to be reduced, for the number of unitaries in the reference structure, for the size of the input quantum state of the reference quantum circuit, nor for the dimensions of the actual quantum state. We define the computational cost of the proposed quantum algorithm and prove that it is significantly lower than the gainable reduction in time complexity
