Abstract

We prove that for any n-qubit unitary transformation U and for any r = 2^{o(n / log n)}, there exists a quantum circuit to implement U^{⊗ r} with at most O(4ⁿ) gates. This asymptotically equals the number of gates needed to implement just a single copy of a worst-case U. We also establish analogous results for quantum states and diagonal unitary transformations. Our techniques are based on the work of Uhlig [Math. Notes 1974], who proved a similar mass production theorem for Boolean functions.
