The Clifford group fails gracefully to be a unitary 4-design

H Zhu, R Kueng, M Grassl, D Gross - arXiv preprint arXiv:1609.08172, 2016 - arxiv.org
A unitary t-design is a set of unitaries that is" evenly distributed" in the sense that the
average of any t-th order polynomial over the design equals the average over the entire …

Maximum nonlocality and minimum uncertainty using magic states

M Howard - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We prove that magic states from the Clifford hierarchy give optimal solutions for tasks
involving nonlocality and entropic uncertainty with respect to Pauli measurements. For both …

Mutually unbiased bases as minimal Clifford covariant 2-designs

H Zhu - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are interesting for various reasons. The most attractive
example of (a complete set of) MUBs is the one constructed by Ivanović as well as Wootters …

Galois unitaries, mutually unbiased bases, and MUB-balanced states

DM Appleby, I Bengtsson, HB Dang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1409.7987, 2014 - arxiv.org
A Galois unitary is a generalization of the notion of anti-unitary operators. They act only on
those vectors in Hilbert space whose entries belong to some chosen number field. For …
