Recently, Ji et al disproved the LU-LC conjecture and showed that the local unitary and local Clifford equivalence classes of the stabilizer states are not always the same. Despite the fact this settles the LU-LC conjecture, a sufficient…
We study the relation between local unitary (LU) equivalence and local Clifford (LC) equivalence of stabilizer states. We introduce a large subclass of stabilizer states, such that every two LU equivalent states in this class are…
We adopt a resource-theoretic framework to classify different types of quantum network nonlocality in terms of operational constraints placed on the network. One type of constraint limits the parties to perform local Clifford gates on pure…
Circle graph states are a structurally important family of graph states. The family's entanglement is a priori high enough to allow for universal measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC); however, MBQC on circle graph states is actually…

Graph states, and the entanglement they posses, are central to modern quantum computing and communications architectures. Local complementation---the graph operation that links all local-Clifford equivalent graph states---allows us to…
Hypergraph states are multi-qubit states that form a subset of the locally maximally entangleable states and a generalization of the well--established notion of graph states. Mathematically, they can conveniently be described by a…
Quantum error-correcting codes are used to protect qubits involved in quantum computation. This process requires logical operators, acting on protected qubits, to be translated into physical operators (circuits) acting on physical quantum…
Stabiliser states play a central role in the theory of quantum computation. For example, they are used to encode computational basis states in the most common quantum error correction schemes. Arbitrary quantum states admit many stabiliser…
We present networks for directly estimating the polynomial invariants of multi-party quantum states under local transformations. The structure of these networks is closely related to the structure of the invariants themselves and this lends…
