An Algorithm for Constructing Polynomial Systems Whose Solution Space   Characterizes Quantum Circuits
  An algorithm and its first implementation in C# are presented for assembling arbitrary quantum circuits on the base of Hadamard and Toffoli gates and for constructing multivariate polynomial systems over the finite field Z_2 arising when applying the Feynman's sum-over-paths approach to quantum circuits. The matrix elements determined by a circuit can be computed by counting the number of common roots in Z_2 for the polynomial system associated with the circuit. To determine the number of solutions in Z_2 for the output polynomial system, one can use the Groebner bases method and the relevant algorithms for computing Groebner bases.
