Description
Is your feature request related to a use case or problem? Please describe.
One of the promising gatesets for fault tolerant regime is the Clifford + T gateset, where executing T gates is significantly slower than executing Cliffords and therefore it's often desired to minimize the T-count of the compiled circuits. Cirq currently does not have any analytical decompositions for synthesizing arbitrary 1/2q unitaries in terms of Clifford + T gateset.
Describe the solution you'd like
Fast and efficient exact synthesis of single qubit unitaries generated by Clifford and T gates provides an efficient algorithm for synthesis of arbitrary single qubit rotations in terms of Clifford + T gates. The feature request is to implement the described algorithm as an analytical decomposition in Cirq
What is the urgency from your perspective for this issue? Is it blocking important work?
P2 - we should do it in the next couple of quarters
cc @augustehirth This would need documentation once we get this done.
