Multi-Output Galois Field Sum of Products Synthesis with New Quantum Cascades

Galois Field Sum of Products (GFSOP) leads to efficient multi-valued reversible circuit synthesis using quantum gates. In this paper, we propose a new generalization of ternary Toffoli gate and another new generalized reversible ternary gate with discussion of their quantum realizations. Algorithms for synthesizing ternary GFSOP using quantum cascades of these gates are proposed. In both the synthesis methods, 5 ternary shift operators and ternary swap gate are used. We also propose quantum realizations of 5 ternary shift operators and ternary swap gate. In the cascades of the new ternary gates, local mirrors, variable ordering, and product ordering techniques are used to reduce the circuit cost. Experimental results show that the cascade of the new ternary gates is more efficient than the cascade of ternary Toffoli gates.
