Abstract

We present a quantum algorithm for multiplying two n-bit integers with overall circuit depth and T-depth both bounded by O\(log2 n\), while using O\(n2\) gates and ancillary qubits. Our construction generates partial products via indicator-controlled copying and adds them using a binary adder tree, enabling parallel accumulation with logarithmic depth overhead per level. To the best of our knowledge, our design has the lowest T-depth among all multiplication algorithms using the Clifford + T model. By optimizing both circuit depth and T-depth, our construction advances the practical feasibility of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.
