- Abstract summary: A popular universal gate set for quantum computing with qubits is Clifford+T, as this can be readily implemented on many fault-tolerant architectures.
For qutrits, there is an equivalent T gate, that, like its qubit analogue, makes Clifford+T approximately universal, is injectable by a magic state, and supports magic state distillation.
It was claimed that a better gate set for qutrits might be Clifford+R, where R=diag (1,1,-1) is the metaplectic gate, as certain protocols and gates could more easily be implemented using the R gate than the T gate

- Abstract: A popular universal gate set for quantum computing with qubits is Clifford+T,
as this can be readily implemented on many fault-tolerant architectures. For
qutrits, there is an equivalent T gate, that, like its qubit analogue, makes
Clifford+T approximately universal, is injectable by a magic state, and
supports magic state distillation. However, it was claimed that a better gate
set for qutrits might be Clifford+R, where R=diag(1,1,-1) is the metaplectic
gate, as certain protocols and gates could more easily be implemented using the
R gate than the T gate. In this paper we show that when we have at least two
qutrits, the qutrit Clifford+R unitaries form a strict subset of the Clifford+T
unitaries, by finding a direct decomposition of $R \otimes \mathbb{I}$ as a
Clifford+T circuit and proving that the T gate cannot be exactly synthesized in
Clifford+R. This shows that in fact the T gate is at least as powerful as the R
gate, up to a constant factor. Moreover, we additionally show that it is
impossible to find a single-qutrit Clifford+T decomposition of the R gate,
making our result tight.

Our decomposition requires no SWAP gates in order to be implemented on 2D square lattices of qubits.

With our results we can construct ancilla-free implementations of multiple-controlled T gates as well as all versions of the qutrit multiple-controlled Toffoli.
As an application of our results, we provide a procedure to implement any ternary classical reversible function on $n$ trits as an ancilla-free qutrit unitary.

We prove that there are 293760 states and their entanglement entropy must be either 0, 2/3, 1, 4/3 and 5/3.
We achieve this by splitting the 293760 states into 18 groups where each pair of states in a group can be connected with a local Clifford gate.
This time we show that every pair of Clifford states with real entries can be connected with at most 5 CNOT gates and local gates in C_R.
