Quantum computing based on complex Clifford algebras (2201.02246v2)
Published 6 Jan 2022 in quant-ph, math-ph, and math.MP
Abstract: We propose to represent both $n$--qubits and quantum gates acting on them as elements in the complex Clifford algebra defined on a complex vector space of dimension $2n.$ In this framework, the Dirac formalism can be realized in straightforward way. We demonstrate its functionality by performing quantum computations with several well known examples of quantum gates. We also compare our approach with representations that use real geometric algebras.
