Abstract

In this paper, we present the ``DORCIS'' tool, which finds depth-optimized quantum circuit implementations for arbitrary 3- and 4-bit S-boxes. It follows up from the previous LIGHTER-R tool (which only works for 4-bit S-boxes) by extending it in multiple ways. LIGHTER-R only deals at the top level (i.e., Toffoli gates), whereas DORCIS takes quantum decomposition (i.e., Clifford + T gates) into account. Further, DORCIS optimizes for quantum depth and T depth. We match, if not surpass, other optimized quantum circuit implementations put forth in the other papers. Similar to LIGHTER-R, our tool is also easy to use, and we provide an extended interface to IBM's Qiskit.
