Abstract

Reversible logic plays an important role in quantum computing. Several papers have been recently published on universality of sets of reversible gates. However, a fundamental unsolved problem remains: “what is the minimum set of gates that are universal for  nn-qubit circuits without ancillae bits”. We present a library of 2 gates which is sufficient to realize all reversible circuits of n variables. It is a minimal library of gates for binary reversible logic circuits. We also analyze the complexity of the syntheses.
