Strange inequivalence between superdense coding and teleportation
Imagine we have some two-qubit state $\omega$ which Bob holds after the transmission of a qubit from Alice. For superdense coding, he's going to measure it in the Bell basis. Let's assume the answer ...

What is the minimum number of non-Clifford gates does it take to prepare a superposition over all "two-hot" basis vectors?
This can be done efficiently by using amplitude amplification.
We are going to want to rotate each qubit such that it has a $2/n$ chance of being ON. For that it helps to have this class of gates:

Constructing a single qubit gate from S, H and Pauli gates
I go about this in quite a different way (and get a different result). You're trying to make
$$
e^{-i\pi Y/4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(I-iY).
$$
Start by considering Hadamard:
$$
H=\frac{X+Z}{\sqrt{2}}.

Constructing a single qubit gate from S, H and Pauli gates
There may be a simpler way of doing this, but this certainly works.
First find the matrix representation of $U$ by multiplying out the terms. Remember that $e^{i \theta Y} = \cos(\theta) I + i \sin(\...

How to factorize a multi-qubit quantum state?
What you ask is even harder than asking whether a state is separable. The latter is considered a complex problem, sometimes NP-hard. See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separable_state for a ...

Prove that uniformly random states have moments ${\bf E}_\psi|\langle x|\psi\rangle|^{2t}\sim1/\binom d t$
The factor in your claim is wrong. It should be $\binom{d+t-1}{t}^{-1}$. The correct claim follows from the identity
$$
\int |\psi\rangle\langle\psi|^{\otimes t} d\psi = \binom{d+t-1}{t}^{-1} P_{\...
