Constant-Depth Quantum Circuits for Arbitrary Quantum State Preparation via Measurement and Feedback
Wei Zi, Nie, Junhong, Xiaoming Sun · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2025
The optimization of quantum circuit depth is crucial for practical quantum computing, as limited coherence times and error-prone operations constrain executable algorithms. Measurement and feedback operations are fundamental in quantum computing (e.g., quantum error correction); we develop a framework using them to achieve constant-depth implementations of essential quantum tasks. This includes preparing arbitrary quantum states with constant-depth circuits through measurement and feedback, breaking the linear-depth lower bound that is required without these operations. Our result paves the way for general quantum circuit compression using measurement and feedback.
