Primitive Quantum Gates for an $SU(2)$ Discrete Subgroup: Binary Octahedral

We construct a primitive gate set for the digital quantum simulation of the 48-element binary octahedral ($\mathbb{BO}$) group. This nonabelian discrete group better approximates $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory than previous work on the binary tetrahedral group at the cost of one additional qubit -- for a total of six -- per gauge link. The necessary primitives are the inversion gate, the group multiplication gate, the trace gate, and the $\mathbb{BO}$ Fourier transform.

Primitive Quantum Gates for an SU(2) Discrete Subgroup: BT

We construct a primitive gate set for the digital quantum simulation of the binary tetrahedral ($\mathbb{BT}$) group on two quantum architectures. This nonabelian discrete group serves as a crude approximation to $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory while requiring five qubits or one quicosotetrit per gauge link. The necessary basic primitives are the inversion gate, the group multiplication gate, the trace gate, and the $\mathbb{BT}$ Fourier transform over $\mathbb{BT}$. We experimentally benchmark the inversion and trace gates on ibm nairobi, with estimated fidelities between $14-55\%$, depending on the input state.
