mirror-hash

An experimental hashing algorithm for optical/quantum computers based on Toffoli and Fredkin gates.

With standard 256-bit input it has 64 layers of the following gates. Each has 2 sublayers of Toffoli or Fredkin gates in zig-zag fashion. The symmetry (mirrored or not) and type of gate (Toffoli or Fredkin) is determined by the previous block (called layer encoding here) of the hash and also there is a XOR with the current layer encoding to avoid 0-to-0 hashes.

   def hashLayerPass(self, layer, block, startLeft=None):
        #     Layer1 (a zigzag)

        # Each 3-wire gate can be Toffoli or Fredkin, mirrored or not., 4 choices.                        
        # First a XOR with layer encoding to avoid 0 to 0 hashes.         

Example

There is still some bugs to fix because with random input works well but with not random input is the has is not random (two hashes start very similar with 0x90c5...).
