Simulation of quantum circuits by low-rank stabilizer decompositions
Recent work has explored using the stabilizer formalism to classically simulate quantum circuits containing a few non-Clifford gates. The computational cost of such methods is directly related to the notion of $\it{stabilizer}$ $\textit{rank}$, which for a pure state $\psi$ is defined to be the smal...
