Abstract

The paper discusses the asymptotic depth of a reversible circuits consisting of NOT, CNOT and 2-CNOT gates. The reversible circuit depth function D(n, q) is introduced for a circuit implementing a mapping f: Z n2 → Z n2 as a function of n and the number q of additional inputs. It is proved that for the case of implementation of a permutation from A(Z n2 ) with a reversible circuit having no additional inputs the depth is bounded as D(n, 0) ≳ 2n/(3log2 n). It is also proved that for the case of transformation f: Z n2 → Z n2 with a reversible circuit having q 0 ~ 2n additional inputs the depth is bounded as D(n,q 0) ≲ 3n.
