The construction of generators of the Clifford group and of stabilizer states from Chern-Simons theory is presented for the Kac-Moody algebras SU(2)1, U(N)N,N(K+N) with N = 2 and K = 1, and SU(N)1 extending results of Salton, et. al.
I review the equivalence between duality operators on two-forms and conformal structures in four dimensions, from a Clifford algebra point of view (due to Urbantke and Harnett). I also review an application, which leads to a set of…
We describe generators and defining relations for the commutator subgroup of topological full groups of minimal subshifts. We show that the word problem in a topological full group is solvable if and only if the language of the underlying…
Quantum computing carries significant potential for addressing practical problems. However, currently available quantum devices suffer from noisy quantum gates, which degrade the fidelity of executed quantum circuits. Therefore, quantum…
In this paper we show how all the quantum properties of Schroedinger and Pauli particles can be described entirely from within a Clifford algebra taken over the reals. There is no need to appeal to any `wave function'. To describe a quantum…
Executing quantum algorithms on a quantum computer requires compilation to representations that conform to all restrictions imposed by the device. Due to devices' limited coherence times and gate fidelities, the compilation process has to…
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…
Quantum error-correcting codes can be used to protect qubits involved in quantum computation. This requires that logical operators acting on protected qubits be translated to physical operators (circuits) acting on physical quantum states.…

The transition from a classical to quantum theory is investigated within the context of orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebras, first for particles, and then for fields. It is shown that the generators of Clifford algebras have the…
In this paper we prove a collection of results on the structure of permutations in the Clifford Hierarchy. First, we leverage results from the cryptography literature on affine equivalence classes of 4-bit permutations which we use to find…
We introduce Clifford Group Equivariant Neural Networks: a novel approach for constructing $\mathrm{O}(n)$- and $\mathrm{E}(n)$-equivariant models. We identify and study the $\textit{Clifford group}$, a subgroup inside the Clifford algebra…
We generalize the concept of folding from surface codes to CSS codes by considering certain dualities within them. In particular, this gives a general method to implement logical operations in suitable LDPC quantum codes using transversal…
We explore the implementation of pseudo-random single-qubit rotations and multi-qubit pseudo-random circuits constructed only from Clifford gates and the T-gate, a phase rotation of pi/4. Such a gate set would be appropriate for…
In this paper we study a Clifford algebra generalization of the quaternions and its relationship with braid group representations related to Majorana fermions. The Fibonacci model for topological quantum computing is based on the fusion…

The Clifford hierarchy is a foundational concept for universal quantum computation (UQC). It was introduced to show that UQC can be realized via quantum teleportation, given access to certain standard resources. While the full structure of…
