Proof by Induction

Remote Image

The general universality proof follows from the special case of Boolean functions. It is proven by induction on :

Base case (): There are four possible functions: image

Identity function – Implemented using a single wire.

Remote Image

Bit flip (NOT function) – Implemented using a single gate. a2=π2+b2a^2 = \pi^2 +b^2

Constant 0 function – Can be obtained by ANDing the input with an ancilla bit initially set to 0.

Constant 1 function – Can be obtained by ORing the input with an ancilla bit initially set to 1.

Inductive step: Suppose any function on bits can be computed by a circuit. For a function on bits, define two -bit functions: f1(x1,...,xn)=f(1,x1,...,xn)f_1(x_1, ..., x_n) = f(1, x_1, ..., x_n) f1(x1,...,xn)=f(0,x1,...,xn)f_1(x_1, ..., x_n) = f(0, x_1, ..., x_n) Since these are -bit functions, they can be computed using circuits by the inductive hypothesis.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}
