It therefore forms an integral part of many protocols in quantum information, and it turns out that their properties can often be described in terms of representation-theoretic data. Motivated by these connections, we start our analysis by establishing an analogue of Schur-Weyl duality. As is the case for SW-duality between U(d) and St, the resulting description of the tth tensor power of the n-qubit Clifford group is independent of the number n of qubits! This uniform theory implies that, maybe surprisingly, several tasks in quantum information theory can be performed with a system-size independent amount of resources. Examples include: Testing whether an unknown state is a stabilizer state, and constructing unitary designs with few non-Clifford gates. arXiv:2002.09524, 1906.07230, 1712.08628. **Additional Ways to Join** Join by telephone (use any number to dial in) +1 929 436 2866 +1 312 626 6799 +1 669 900 6833 +1 253 215 8782 +1 301 715 8592 +1 346 248 7799 +41 43 210 70 42 +41 43 210 71 08 +41 22 591 00 05 +41 22 591 01 56 +41 31 528 09 88 +31 20 794 6520 +31 20 794 7345 +31 20 241 0288 +31 20 794 0854 +31 20 794 6519 +65 3165 1065 +65 3158 7288 +33 1 7095 0350 +33 7 5678 4048 +33 1 7037 2246 +33 1 7037 9729 +33 1 7095 0103 +49 30 5679 5800 +49 695 050 2596 +49 69 7104 9922 +45 32 72 80 11 +45 89 88 37 88 +45 32 70 12 06 +45 32 71 31 57 +45 32 72 80 10 400 669 9381 China Toll-free 400 616 8835 China Toll-free 0 800 561 252 Switzerland Toll-free 0 800 002 622 Switzerland Toll-free 0 800 220 0040 Netherlands Toll-free 0 800 022 1954 Netherlands Toll-free 800 852 6054 Singapore Toll-free 800 101 3814 Singapore Toll-free 0 805 082 588 France Toll-free 0 800 940 415 France Toll-free 0 800 1800 150 Germany Toll-free 0 800 000 6954 Germany Toll-free 80 82 02 88 Denmark Toll-free 80 71 12 51 Denmark Toll-free International numbers available: [https://harvar](https://harvard.zoom.us/u/aclg6kOggb)[d.zoom.us/u/aclg6kOggb](https://harvard.zoom.us/u/aclg6kOggb) One tap mobile: +19294362866,,779283357# US (New York) Join by SIP conference room system Meeting ID: 779 283 357 <779283357@zoomcrc.com> **Attachments** --- Attachments- [ picture\_as\_pdf Flyer.pdf ](/sites/g/files/omnuum6611/files/mathpicture/files/david_gross_seminar_july_28_2020.pdf) --- Share on:- [ Facebook ](#) - [ Twitter ](#) - [ Linkedin ](#) Save: [ Add to calendar calendar\_today ](https://mathpicture.fas.harvard.edu/node/1518967/event-feed.ics) Copy link link
