A Quantum Circuit for Gaussian Elimination

A quantum circuit for Gaussian elimination is developed in this work. While previous quantum implementations of Gaussian elimination were restricted to $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{F}(2)$, the proposed design is generalized to any finite field. Compared with previous works in $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{F}(2)$, the developed circuit achieves garbage-free construction while retaining the best known asymptotic Toffoli depth up to logarithmic factors.
