US Patent 10320360 Quantum algorithms for arithmetic and function synthesis

Quantum circuits and associated methods use Repeat-Until-Success (RUS) circuits to perform approximate multiplication and approximate squaring of input values supplied as rotations encoded on ancilla qubits. So-called gearbox and programmable ancilla circuits are coupled to encode even or odd products of input values as a rotation of a target qubit. In other examples, quantum RUS circuits provide target qubit rotations that are associated with reciprocals using series expansion representations.
