Discrete Wigner Function Derivation of the Aaronson–Gottesman Tableau Algorithm
Discrete Wigner Function Derivation of the Aaronson–Gottesman Tableau Algorithm
The Gottesman-Knill theorem established that stabilizer states and operations can be efficiently simulated classically. For qudits with dimension three and greater, stabilizer states and Clifford operations have been found to correspond to positive discrete Wigner functions and dynamics. We present a discrete Wigner function-based simulation algorithm for odd-$d$ qudits that …
