There are various gate sets that can be used to describe a quantum computation. A particularly popular gate set in the literature on quantum computing consists of arbitrary single-qubit gates and 2-qubit CNOT gates. A CNOT gate is however…

In this paper, we construct a symmetric group ${\rm Sym}_{2(4^n-1)}$, which contains a subgroup isomorphic to the $n$-qubit projective Clifford group $\mathcal{C}_n$. To establish this result, we investigate the centralizers of the $z$ gate…
We show that single-qudit universality in Clifford-based gate sets follows a trichotomy determined by the prime factorization of the local dimension $d$. For prime $d$, any gate outside the Clifford group is universal. For prime-power…
The Clifford group is the set of gates generated by the CZ gate, and the two local gates: the Hadamard and the Pi/2 phase shift gate. It is known that, for a two qubit system, the Clifford group C2 is a subgroup of order 92160 of the group…
While there is a general consensus about the structure of one qubit operations in topological quantum computer, two qubits are as usual a more difficult and complex story of different attempts with varying approaches, problems and…
