Abstract

We revisit the Pauli-Clifford connection to introduce a real, grade-preserving algebraic framework for nn-qubit quantum computation based on the tensor product C2,0(R)nC\ell_{2,0}(\mathbb{R})^{\otimes n}. In this setting, the bivector J=e12J = e_{12} satisfies J2=1J^{2} = -1 and supplies the complex structure on the JJ-closure of a minimal left ideal via right multiplication, while Pauli operations arise as left actions of Clifford elements. The Peirce decomposition organizes the algebra into sector blocks determined by primitive idempotents, with nilpotent elements generating transitions between sectors. Quantum states are represented as equivalence classes modulo the left annihilator, exhibiting the quotient description underlying the minimal left ideal. Adopting a canonical stabilizer mapping, the nn-qubit computational basis state 00|0\cdots 0\rangle is given natively by a tensor product of these idempotents. This structural choice leads to a compatibility law that is stable under the geometric product for nn qubits and aligns symbolic Clifford multiplication with unitary evolution on the Hilbert space.
