About this paper

Berta Casas, Diego García-Martín, Yuxuan Zhang

The authors study synthesis of matchgate–Clifford circuits, seeking the fewest allowed Majorana braids for a given target. They represent circuits as signed permutations of Majorana modes and analyze how connectivity affects synthesis. Paths and complete graphs admit optimal classical algorithms, while the decision problem for arbitrary tree connectivity is NP-complete. On tested path random walks, fitted gate-count growth is lower than Qiskit’s and pytket’s.
