The magic of universal quantum computing with permutations (1701.06443v2)

Abstract: The role of permutation gates for universal quantum computing is investigated. The \lq magic' of computation is clarified in the permutation gates, their eigenstates, the Wootters discrete Wigner function and state-dependent contextuality (following many contributions on this subject). A first classification of main types of resulting magic states in low dimensions $d \le 9$ is performed.
