Abstract

We present an exact synthesis algorithm for qutrit unitaries in U3n(Z[1/3,e2πi/3])\mathcal{U}_{3^n}(\mathbb{Z}[1/3,e^{2\pi i/3}]) over the Clifford+T+T gate set with at most one ancilla. This extends the already known result of qutrit metaplectic gates being a subset of Clifford+T+T gate set with one ancilla. As an intermediary step, we construct an algorithm to convert 3-level unitaries into multiply-controlled gates, analogous to Gray codes converting 2-level unitaries into multiply-controlled gates. Finally, using catalytic embeddings, we present an algorithm to exactly synthesize unitaries U3n(Z[1/3,e2πi/9])\mathcal{U}_{3^n}(\mathbb{Z}[1/3,e^{2\pi i/9}]) over the Clifford+T+T gate set with at most 2 ancillas. This, in particular, gives an exact synthesis algorithm of single-qutrit Clifford+D+\mathcal{D} over the multi-qutrit Clifford+T+T gate set with at most two ancillas.
