Title:
Improved Low-depth SHA3 Quantum Circuit for Fault-tolerant Quantum Computers

Authors: Gyeongju Song, Kyungbae Jang, Hwajeong Seo

Abstract:

To build an efficient security system in the post-quantum era, it is possible to find the minimum security parameters for defending a fault-tolerant quantum computer by estimating the quantum resources required for an quantum attack. In a fault-tolerant quantum computer, errors must reach an acceptable level through error detection and error correction, which additionally uses quantum resources. As the depth of the quantum circuit increases, the computation time per qubit increases, and errors in quantum computers increases. Therefore, in terms of errors in quantum circuits, it is appropriate to reduce the depth by increasing the number of qubits. This paper proposes an low-depth quantum circuit implementations of SHA3 for fault-tolerant quantum computers to reduce errors. The proposed SHA3 quantum circuit is implemented in the direction of reducing the quantum circuit depth through a trade-off between the number of qubits, quantum gate, and quantum depth in each function. Compared to the-state-of-art works, proposed method decreased T-depth and Full-depth by 30.3% and 80.05%, respectively. We expect that this work will contribute to the establishment of minimum security parameters for SHA3 in the quantum era.
