abstract

We translate the action of local Clifford operations on graph states into transformations on their associated graphs - i.e. we provide transformation rules, stated in purely graph theoretical terms, which completely characterize the evolution of graph states under local Clifford operations. As we will show, there is essentially one basic rule, successive application of which generates the orbit of any graph state under local unitary operations within the Clifford group.

The Structure of Circle Graph States

quant-ph · 2026-03-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Circle graphs are closed under r-local complementation and bipartite circle graph states correspond one-to-one with planar code states whose MBQC is classically simulable.

    Graph-state inner products are governed by the F2-rank of the adjacency matrix and the Arf invariant, yielding a nonlocal Bell-pair factorization of the Hilbert space.
