We give an algorithm which produces a unique element of the Clifford group $\mathcal{C}_n$ on $n$ qubits from an integer $0\le i < |\mathcal{C}_n|$ (the number of elements in the group). The algorithm involves $O(n^3)$ operations. It is a…

It is well known that quantum computers can efficiently find a hidden subgroup $H$ of a finite Abelian group $G$. This implies that after only a polynomial (in $\log |G|$) number of calls to the oracle function, the states corresponding to…
