1.0 The goal of this research The goal of the PQLG group is to develop complete methodologies, software tools and circuits for quantum logic. Our interests are mainly in logic synthesis for quantum circuits and quantum system design [10]. Emulation of quantum circuits using standard reconfigurable FPGA technology and FPGA-based Evolvable Quantum Hardware, proposed here, are research areas not yet dealt with by other research groups. A parallel software simulator was presented in [13]. 1.1 Quantum Logic and Gates Unlike classical bits that are realized as electrical voltages or currents present on a wire, quantum logic operations manipulate qubits [12]. Qubits are
