- Abstract: We introduce a complete equational theory for the fragment of quantum circuits generated by the real Clifford gates plus the two-qubit controlled-Hadamard gate. That is, we give a simple set of equalities between circuits of this fragment, and prove that any other true equation can be derived from these. This is the first such completeness result for a finitely-generated, universal fragment of quantum circuits, with no parameterized gates and no need for ancillas.

We propose and analyze use cases that come from quantum circuits that can be written as product between a Clifford and a Non-Clifford unitary.<n>We make use of ZX-Calculus and its assets to detect a limiting border of these circuits that would allow for a separation between a Clifford section and a Non-Clifford section.

We show that any true equation on quantum circuits can be derived from simple rules.
One of our main contributions is to prove the minimality of the equational theory.

We simplify the equational theory by proving that several rules can be derived from the remaining ones.
The complete equational theory can be extended to quantum circuits with ancillae or qubit discarding.

We show that the unitarity problem is co-NP-hard in general, but that it is in P when restricted to Clifford path sums.
We then provide an algorithm to synthesize a Clifford circuit from a unitary Clifford path sum.
We also provide a generalization of our extraction algorithm to arbitrary path sums.

The main advantage of qudit systems is that its multi-level characteristic allows the field interaction to be implemented only with diagonal single-qudit gates.
