Abstract

We use our Clifford algebra technique, that is nilpotents and projectors which are binomials of the Clifford algebra objects γa\gamma^a with the property {γa,γb}+=2ηab\{\gamma^a,\gamma^b\}_+ = 2 \eta^{ab}, for representing quantum gates and quantum algorithms needed in quantum computers in an elegant way. We identify nn-qubits with spinor representations of the group SO(1,3) for a system of nn spinors. Representations are expressed in terms of products of projectors and nilpotents. An algorithm for extracting a particular information out of a general superposition of 2n2^n qubit states is presented. It reproduces for a particular choice of the initial state the Grover's algorithm.
