Quantum circuits of a general quantum gate acting on multiple d-level quantum systems play a prominent role in multi-valued quantum computation. We first propose a new recursive Cartan decomposition of semi-simple unitary Lie group U(3n) (arbitrary n-qutrit gate). Note that the decomposition completely decomposes an n-qutrit gate into local and non-local operations. We design an explicit quantum circuit for implementing arbitrary two-qutrit gates, and the cost of our construction is 21 generalized controlled X (GCX) and controlled increment (CINC) gates less than the earlier best result of 26 GGXs. Moreover, we extend the program to the n-qutrit system, and the quantum circuit of generic n-qutrit gates contained (41)/(96)⋅32n-4⋅3n-1-((n2)/(2)+(n)/(4)-(29)/(32)) GGXs and CINCs is presented. Such asymptotically optimal structure is the best known result so far.
