Symmetry-restricted quantum circuits are still well-behaved

Quantum Physics 2024-02-27 v1

Abstract

We show that quantum circuits restricted by a symmetry inherit the properties of the whole special unitary group SU(2n)SU(2^n), in particular composition, algebraic and topological closedness and connectedness. It extends prior work on symmetric states to the operators and shows that the operator space follows the same structure as the state space. The well-behavedness is independent of the symmetry requirement imposed on the subgroup. We provide an example of a permutation invariance across all qubits.
