A reversible function is isomorphic to a permutation and an arbitrary permutation can be represented by a series of cycles. A new synthesis algorithm for 3-qubit reversible circuits was presented. It consists of two parts, the first part used the Number of reversible function's Different Bits (NDBs) to decide whether the NOT gate should be added to decrease the Hamming distance of the input and output vectors; the second part was based on the idea of exploring properties of the cycle representation of permutations, decomposed the cycles to make the permutation closer to the identity permutation and finally turn into the identity permutation, it was realized by using totally controlled Toffoli gates with positive and negative controls.
