Unitary Synthesis with Near-Optimal T-Count for Near-Clifford Unitaries

Wang Fang, Chris Heunen, Qisheng Wang

The paper proposes a method to synthesize any n‑qubit unitary as a Clifford+T circuit whose T‑gate count scales as ~2^n times the Frobenius distance to the Clifford group, achievin…

One rig to control them all

Chris Heunen, Robin Kaarsgaard, Louis Lemonnier

Controlled commands -- computations whose execution depends on a separate input -- play a central role in reversible Boolean circuits and quantum circuits. However, existing formal…

Free Quantum Computing

Jacques Carette, Chris Heunen, Robin Kaarsgaard +2

Quantum computing improves substantially on known classical algorithms for various important problems, but the nature of the relationship between quantum and classical computing is…

Hilbert -categories: Where limits in analysis and category theory meet

Matthew Di Meglio, Chris Heunen

This article introduces Hilbert -categories: an abstraction of categories with similar algebraic and analytic properties to the categories of real, complex, and quaternionic Hil…

Quantum Circuits Are Just a Phase

Chris Heunen, Louis Lemonnier, Christopher McNally +1

Quantum programs today are written at a low level of abstraction - quantum circuits akin to assembly languages - and the unitary parts of even advanced quantum programming language…

Hadamard-Pi: Equational Quantum Programming

Wang Fang, Chris Heunen, Robin Kaarsgaard

Quantum computing offers advantages over classical computation, yet the precise features that set the two apart remain unclear. In the standard quantum circuit model, adding a 1-qu…
