We show, within the circuit model, how any quantum computation can be efficiently performed using states with only real amplitudes (a result known within the Quantum Turing Machine model). This allows us to identify a 2-qubit (in fact 2-rebit) gate which is universal for quantum computing, although it cannot be used to perform arbitrary unitary transformations.

  1. On the Complexity of Quantum States and Circuits from the Orthogonal and Symplectic Groups

    quant-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Random states from symplectic and orthogonal unitaries show exponentially large strong state complexity and near-orthogonality, with average-case hardness for learning circuits from these groups.

  2. Time evolution of quantum gates and the necessity of complex numbers

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Complex numbers are necessary for the continuous time evolution of quantum gates, since real special orthogonal operators cannot represent gates with determinant -1 and real-to-complex mappings remain isomorphic to co...
