Abstract

We construct a primitive gate set for the digital quantum simulation of a discrete subgroup of SU(3)SU(3): the 216-element Σ(72×3)\Sigma(72\times3). The necessary primitives are the inversion gate, the group multiplication gate, the trace gate, and the group Fourier transform, for which we provide qubit decompositions. The resulting fault-tolerant T gate costs for a fiducial calculation of shear viscosity would require about 101210^{12} T gates which compares favorably to other modern estimates.
