Ancilla-free Reversible Logic Synthesis via Sorting
Reversible logic synthesis is emerging as a major research component for
post-CMOS computing devices, in particular Quantum computing. In this work, we
link the reversible logic synthesis problem to sorting algorithms. Based on our
analysis, an alternative derivation of the worst-case complexity of generated
reversible circuits is provided. Furthermore, a novel column-wise reversible
logic synthesis method, termed RevCol, is designed with inspiration from radix
sort. Extending the principles of RevCol, we present a hybrid reversible logic
synthesis framework. The theoretical and experimental results are presented.
The results are extensively benchmarked with state-of-the-art ancilla-free
reversible logic synthesis methods.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
