We investigate the groups generated by the sets of $CP$, $CNOT$ and $SWAP^\alpha$ (power-of-SWAP) quantum gate operations acting on $n$ qubits. Isomorphisms to standard groups are found, and using techniques from representation theory, we…

We prepare two dimensional states generated by shallow circuits composed of (1) one layer of two-qubit CZ gate or (2) a few layers of two-qubit random Clifford gate. After measuring all of the bulk qubits, we study the entanglement…

The Gottesman-Knill theorem says that a stabilizer circuit -- that is, a quantum circuit consisting solely of CNOT, Hadamard, and phase gates -- can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. This paper improves that theorem in…
