Efficient quantum circuit research and implementation for 16-bit S-boxes based on composite field by Lei Zhang, Guoyuan Li, Jingchen Dai, Ruipeng Hong, Chaoen Xiao, Jianxin Wang, Yifan Zhang

“…This method relies on normal bases representation to construct composite field structures, decomposing high-dimensional multiplicative inverse into low-dimensional subdomain operations through isomorphic mapping, thereby significantly reducing the quantum cost of nonlinear component. In the linear component, a dynamic optimal pivot selection strategy is proposed to effectively optimize the Gaussian elimination process while maintaining the row echelon form of the matrix, thereby reducing the number of CNOT gates. …”
