Equivalence of Local Complementation and Euler Decomposition in the Qutrit ZX-calculus

Abstract: In this paper, we give a modified version of the qutrit ZX-calculus, by which we represent qutrit graph states as diagrams and prove that the qutrit version of local complementation property is true if and only if the qutrit Hadamard gate $H$ has an Euler decomposition into $4\pi/3$-green and red rotations. This paves the way for studying the completeness of qutrit ZX-calculus for qutrit stabilizer quantum mechanics.
