contents In some physical implementations of quantum computers, 2-qubit operations can be applied only on certain pairs of qubits. Compilation of a quantum circuit into one compliant to such qubit connectivity constraint results in an increase of circuit depth. Various compilation algorithms were studied, yet what this depth overhead is remains elusive. In this paper, we fully characterize the depth overhead by the routing number of the underlying constraint graph, a graph-theoretic measure which has been studied for 3 decades. We also give reduction algorithms between different graphs, which allow compilation for one graph to be transferred to one for another. These results, when combined with existing routing algorithms, give asymptotically optimal compilation for all commonly seen connectivity graphs in quantum computing.
