Decomposition of a $4 \times 4$ unitary matrix
That paper appears to do their rotations in a very strange order. The method you're interested in is how to use Givens rotations to perform a QR decomposition (see, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Why is the operator $M_a |x\rangle= |a \cdot x \pmod{N} \rangle $ unitary?
Assuming $\gcd(N,a)=1$, then the operator $M_a$ mapping $x\in\mathbb Z_N$ to $a\cdot x \pmod N$ is a permutation, which means that it’s reversible, ergo unitary.

Question about Nielson & Chuang Problem 9.2
I have a sketch of ideas, but haven't buttoned up all the details into a proof so use it as a set of hints.
Intuition: Kraus operators have a unitary freedom, thus you can get the next set of Kraus ...

Decomposition of a $4 \times 4$ unitary matrix
Note the following: if we have a vector with 2 entries $\begin{bmatrix} a \\ b \end{bmatrix}$, then we can use a unitary matrix to change the second entry to $0$. Namely, set $r = \sqrt{|a|^2 + |b|^2}$...

How to show that the GHZ state is absolutely maximally entangled?
I assume that you talk about the standard case of a $3$-qubit GHZ state (the generalized versions of $n$-qubit GHZ states are not absolutely maximally entangled):
$$ |GHZ\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \...
