Original Kurzfassung:
Reversible circuits are needed in different emerging
technologies, but their design is still mainly conducted on low abstraction levels thus far. Hardware Description Languages (HDLs)
provide suitable description means to lift the design process
to higher levels of abstractions. However, synthesis of HDL
descriptions thus far still relies on non-reversible building blocks
even if the corresponding statements are purely reversible. This
leads to reversible circuits with additional circuit lines (i.e.,
circuit signals)?rendering HDL-based synthesis infeasible for
many applications such as quantum computing. In this work,
we present a synthesis method which realizes many of the HDL
statements with no additional lines at all. To this end, we consider
the respective (reversible) HDL statements as an entirety rather
than breaking it down into (possibly non-reversible) building
blocks. For the first time, this allows to realize many HDL
descriptions with no additional circuit lines.
