Abstract By an explicit construction, we show that an arbitrary two-qubit gate can be implemented by using at most 16 elementary one-qubit gates and 3 CNOT gates. We show that this construction is optimal; in the sense that these numbers of gates is the minimal possible ones. Moreover, we show that if the two-qubit gate belongs to SO(4), then we need only 12 elementary one-qubit gates and 2 CNO...

Three-input TOFFOLI gates are heavily used when performing classical logic operations on quantum data, e.g., in reversible arithmetic circuits. However, in physical implementations TOFFOLI gates are decomposed into six CNOT gates and several one-qubit gates. Though this decomposition has been known for at least 10 years, we provide here the first demonstration of its CNOT-optimality. We first p...
