• Title: The Structure of the Majorana Clifford Group
• Authors: Valérie Bettaque, Brian Swingle,
• Abstract summary: In quantum information science, Clifford operators and stabilizer codes play a central role for systems of qubits (or qudits) A crucial role is played by fermion parity symmetry, which is an unbreakable symmetry present in any system in which the fundamental degrees of freedom are fermionic. We prove that the subgroup of parity-preserving fermionic Cliffords can be represented by the group over the binary field $mathbbF$, and we show how it can be generated by braiding operators and used to construct any (even-parity) Majorana stabilizer code.

• Abstract: In quantum information science, Clifford operators and stabilizer codes play a central role for systems of qubits (or qudits). In this paper, we study the analogous objects for systems of Majorana fermions. A crucial role is played by fermion parity symmetry, which is an unbreakable symmetry present in any system in which the fundamental degrees of freedom are fermionic. We prove that the subgroup of parity-preserving fermionic Cliffords can be represented by the orthogonal group over the binary field $\mathbb{F}_2$, and we show how it can be generated by braiding operators and used to construct any (even-parity) Majorana stabilizer code. We also analyze the frame potential for this so-called p-Clifford group, proving that it is equivalent to the frame potential of the ordinary Clifford group acting on a fixed-parity sector of the Hilbert space.

• Quantum cellular automata and categorical duality of spin chains [0.0]
  We study categorical dualities, which are bounded-spread isomorphisms between algebras of symmetry-respecting local operators on a spin chain. A fundamental question about dualities is whether they can be extended to quantum cellular automata. We present a solution to the extension problem using the machinery of Doplicher-Haag-Roberts bimodules.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

• On The Stabilizer Formalism And Its Generalization [0.0]
  The standard stabilizer formalism provides a setting to show that quantum computation restricted to operations within the Clifford group are classically efficiently simulable. We prove that if the closure of the stabilizing set is dense in the set of $SU(d)$ transformations, then the associated Clifford group is trivial. We conjecture that a large class of generalized stabilizer states are equivalent to the standard ones.

Several examples with q-type anyon excitations are discussed, including the Fermionic topological phase from Tambara-gami category for $mathbbZ_2N$.
