Deep Holes in the Clifford Hierarchy
Ian Teixeira, David Meyer
We determine the covering radius of the topological closure of the single-qubit Clifford hierarchy in $\SU(2)\cong S^3$. This closure is a union of great circles --- the Cliff…
Nuclear-Spin Statistical Weights from Young Diagrams
Eric Kubischta, Ian Teixeira
Nuclear-spin statistical weights and selection rules in molecular spectroscopy are governed by the permutation symmetry of identical nuclei, although rigid and semi-rigid molecules…
Time-Reversal Selection Rules for Quantum Error Correction
Eric Kubischta, Ian Teixeira
We apply time-reversal symmetry to quantum codes and show that it imposes parity selection rules on the physical error algebra. A time-reversal-invariant logical qubit on an odd nu…
Classical and Quantum MacWilliams Transforms as Spin Kinematics
Eric Kubischta, Ian Teixeira
Spin is the hidden engine behind the zoo of MacWilliams transforms in weight enumerator theories - not only for qubits and qudits, but even for classical codes. From nothing more t…
Intrinsic Quantum Codes
Eric Kubischta, Ian Teixeira
We introduce an intrinsic formulation of quantum error correction based on representation theory, in which error-protection structure is encoded directly in a unitary group represe…
