Abstract
Clifford group lies at the core of quantum computation -- it underlies quantum error correction, its elements can be used to perform magic state distillation and they form randomized benchmarking protocols, Clifford group is used to study quantum entanglement, and more. The ability to utilize Clifford group elements in practice relies heavily on the efficiency of their circuit-level implementation. Finding short circuits is a hard problem; despite Clifford group being finite, its size grows quickly with the number of qubits , limiting known optimal implementations to qubits. For , the number of Clifford group elements is about . In this paper, we report a set of algorithms, along with their C/C++ implementation, that implicitly synthesize optimal circuits for all 6-qubit Clifford group elements by storing a subset of the latter in a database of size 2.1TB (1KB=1024B). We demonstrate how to extract arbitrary optimal 6-qubit Clifford circuit in and seconds using consumer- and enterprise-grade computers (hardware) respectively, while relying on this database.
