In the eld of quantum information science, one can design a series of quantum logic operations known as a circuit. Circuits are the basis for quantum computations in quantum computing. As circuits will most likely be designed from a logical standpoint, there could exist mathematical redundancies which will lead to a larger circuit than necessary. These redundancies are computationally expensive...

The various applications of VLSI circuits in highperformance computing, telecommunications, and consumer electronics has been expanding progressively, and at a very hasty pace. This paper describes a new model for partitioning a circuit using DBSCAN and fuzzy ARTMAP neural network. The first step is concerned with feature extraction, where we had make use DBSCAN algorithm. The second step is th...

Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMV) plays an important role in numerical algorithm in circuit simulation. In this report, we utilize Message Passing Interface (MPI) to parallelize the SpMV. In addition, resulting from the circuit simulation matrix formulation, the circuit systems are often represented as unstructured, not evenly-distributed sparse matrices. Therefore, we automatically de...

Quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computation are two fundamental concepts which make quantum computing feasible. While providing a theoretical means with which to ensure the arbitrary accuracy of any quantum circuit, fault-tolerant error correction is predicated upon the robust preparation of logical states. An optimal direct circuit and a more complex fault-tolerant circuit ...

MT19937 is a kind of Mersenne Twister, which is a pseudo-random number generator.
