Abstract
Reversible logic synthesis gained much attention recently, primarily due to its applications in low-power computing and quantum computing. There are many synthesis approaches including those using spectral techniques. The algorithm presented in this paper uses the Reed-Muller expansion of a reversible function represented by a Shared Functional Decision Diagram (FDD) to synthesize the function as a network of Toffoli gates. In each step of the algorithm the Toffoli gate with smallest cost is selected, where the cost is defined through complexity of the Shared FDD.
