Householder factorizations of unitary matrices

Abstract: A method to construct all representations of finite dimensional unitary matrices as the product of Householder reflections is given. By arbitrarily severing the state space into orthogonal subspaces, the method may, e.g., identify the entangling and single-component quantum operations that are required in the engineering of quantum states of composite (multi-partite) systems. Earlier constructions are shown to be extreme cases of the unifying scheme that is presented here.

“…This becomes a coefficient to the product V j P j (X, I) . B H can be considered as a Householder transformation: An L dimensional Householder matrix requires O(L) number of quantum gates [25,26]. An example U H for a general 8 × 8 Hamiltonian is presented in Fig.2, where P j s are simplified into two CNOT gates.…”

“…For instance, u 0 = 011 does not appear in any of the lists in (13). The choices (12) and (13) determine one of the many possible sequences of reflections in (7) and constitutes, in the next Section, a template for the cascade of quantum gates.…”

“…all the way down to U (2). Notable examples are based on beam-splitter transformations [2] or the Householder decompositions [3,4,5]. Although these decompositions can be realized physically by means of multi-beam splitters or Mach-Zehnder interferometers [2], they are not in natural accordance with a multi-qubit architecture.…”
