Efficient quantum circuits for dense and non-unitary operators
  Circulant matrices are an important family of operators, which have a wide range of applications in science and engineering related fields. They are in general non-sparse and non-unitary. In this paper, we present efficient quantum circuits to implement circulant operators using fewer resources and with lower complexity than existing methods. Moreover, our quantum circuits can be readily extended to the implementation of Toeplitz, Hankel, and block circulant matrices. Efficient quantum algorithms to implement the inverses and products of circulant operators are also provided.
