SyReC Synthesizer: An MQT Tool for the Synthesis of Reversible Circuits

A tool for HDL-based synthesis of reversible circuits developed by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich. The SyReC Synthesizer is part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) and builds upon our quantum functionality representation (QFR).

Getting Started

The SyReC Synthesizer is available via PyPI for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

• In order to make the library as easy to use as possible (without compilation), we provide pre-built wheels for most common platforms (64-bit Linux, MacOS, Windows). These can be installed using

  (venv) $ pip install mqt.syrec
  

• Once installed, start the SyReC Synthesizer GUI by running:

  (venv) $ syrec-editor
  

Detailed documentation on all available methods, options, and input formats is available at ReadTheDocs.

System Requirements and Building

The implementation is compatible with any C++17 compiler and a minimum CMake version of 3.14. Please refer to the documentation on how to build the project.

Building (and running) is continuously tested under Linux, macOS, and Windows using the latest available system versions for GitHub Actions.
