Circuits of Quantum Hashing and Quantum Fourier Transform for a Cactus as a Qubit Connectivity Graph

We present a quantum circuit implementation of the quantum hashing algorithm (quantum fingerprinting) for a quantum device with restrictions on the application of two-qubit gates by a qubit connectivity graph. We present an optimization technique for the shallow circuit for quantum hashing in the case of a cactus as a qubit connectivity graph. The algorithm has O\(n³\) complexity to build the circuit, where n is the number of qubits and m is the number of connections (edges) in the graph. It is improvement compared to the existing exponential-time algorithm in the case of arbitrary graphs. The algorithm uses solution for the shortest non-simple 1-covering path problem as a subroutine. We present an O\(n³\)-time solution for this graph-theory problem in the case of a cactus. This result can be interesting independently. The algorithm also used for improving of the quantum circuit for Quantum Fourier Transform.
