Generators for single qudit Clifford, $d=4$

The generators for qudit clifford group are give here https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.08162 This is more concise than the paper in the comment and takes care of subtleties better. Here is a short GAP progr …

Proof that encoder for a stabilizer code is in the Clifford group

Given a stabilizer code on $n$ qubits defined by a set of stabilizers $S_1,\cdots S_m$; The encoder $E$ is a matrix in $U(2^n)$ (unitary group) such that $S_i E v = E v$. I'm pretty sure that $E$ is a …

do local clifford gates preserve code distance?

It can be shown that clifford gates do not preserve distance. My question is what if you restrict to local clifford gates, is distance preserved by these? (by local I mean that they act on each qubit …

How are non-clifford gates simulated in Stim and other simulators?

I know that Clifford gates can be efficiently simulated on classical computers using tableaux. How are non-clifford gates handled? Can simulators handle 100 qubit non-clifford gates?

Finite subgroup of $U(4)$ containing a non-Clifford gate and all local Cliffords

Here's an example for the real Pauli and Clifford groups : $$P_1=<X_1,Z_1>; |P_1|=8;$$ $$P_2=<X_1,Z_1,X_2,Z_2>; |P_2|=32;$$ $$C_1=<X_1,Z_1,H_1>; |C_1|=16;$$ $$C_1^{\otimes 2}=<X_1,Z_1,H_1,X_2,Z_2,H_2> …
