Title: Polynomial-Time Unitary Synthesis from a Boolean Oracle.

Abstract: We give a positive answer to the constant-error formulation of the Aaronson–Kuperberg unitary synthesis problem. For every n, a quantum oracle circuit generated in polynomial time from n alone can approximate the channel of every n-qubit unitary to full diamond-norm error at most 1/2, after a suitable Boolean oracle is chosen. Using the fixed gates $H,T,T{}{}dagger,{}mathrm{CNOT}$, the circuit has polynomially many qubits, elementary gates, and oracle calls, and its oracle queries have polynomial length. The oracle may depend on the target unitary; the theorem does not give an efficient classical procedure for constructing it.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
