Abstract
Mapping a circuit of reversible gates to a circuit of elementary quantum gates is a key step in synthesizing quantum realizations of Boolean functions. The library containing NOT, controlled-NOT and controlled square-root-of-NOT gates has been considered extensively. In this paper, we extend the library to include fourth-root-of-NOT gates. Experimental results using REVLIB benchmark circuits show that using this extended library results in smaller quantum circuits.
