Abstract(in English) It is natural to assume that we can perform quantum operations be-tween only two adjacent physical qubits (quantum bits) to realizea quantum computer for both the current and possible future tech-nologies. This restriction is called the Nearest Neighbor Architec-ture (NNA) restriction. This paper proposes an SMT-solver-basedsynthesis of quantum circuits consisting of CNOT, H, and T gatesto satisfy the NNA restriction. Although the existing SMT-solver-based synthesis cannot treat H and T gates directly, our methodtreats the functionality of quantum-specific T and H gates care-fully so that we can utilize an SMT-solver to minimize the numberof CNOT gates; unlike the existing SMT-solver-based methods, ourmethod considers “Don’t Care” conditions in intermediate pointsof a quantum circuit by exploiting the property of T gates to re-duce CNOT gates. Experimental results show that our approachcan reduce the number of CNOT gates by 58.11% on average com-pared to the naive application of the existing method which doesnot consider the “Don’t Care” condition.
