Abstract
Automatic oracle generation techniques can find optimized quantum circuits for classical components in quantum algorithms. However, most implementations of oracle generation techniques require that the classical component is expressed in terms of a conventional logic representation such as logic networks, truth tables, or decision diagrams. We implemented LLVM passes that can automatically generate QIR functions representing classical Q# functions into QIR code implementing such functions quantumly. We are using state-of-the-art logic optimization and oracle generation techniques based on XOR-AND graphs for this purpose. This enables not only a more natural description of the quantum algorithm on a higher level of abstraction, but also enables technology-dependent or application-specific generation of the oracles.ACM Reference Format:Mathias Soeken and Mariia Mykhailova. 2022.
