Abstract

We construct the primitive gate set for the digital quantum simulation of the 108-element Σ(36×3)\Sigma(36\times3) group. This is the first time a nonabelian crystal-like subgroup of SU(3)SU(3) has been constructed for quantum simulation. The gauge link registers and necessary primitives -- the inversion gate, the group multiplication gate, the trace gate, and the Σ(36×3)\Sigma(36\times3) Fourier transform -- are presented for both an eight-qubit encoding and a heterogeneous three-qutrit plus two-qubit register. For the latter, a specialized compiler was developed for decomposing arbitrary unitaries onto this architecture.
