Genetic Algorithm based synthesis of ternary Reversible/Quantum circuit

Reversible/quantum circuits are believed to be one of the future computer technologies. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) based synthesis of ternary reversible/quantum circuits using Muthukrishnan-Stroud gates is presented. The circuit generated by GA may contain redundant gates. We have used post GA reduction to eliminate these redundant gates. We have experimented with ternary half-adder circuit. The proposed GA converges for many combinations of crossover and mutation.
