A graphical description of stabilizer states

Matthew Elliott, University of New Mexico

(Session 9 : Saturday from 16:45-17:15)

Abstract. Stabilizer states are ubiquitous elements of quantum information theory, as a consequence of both their power and of their relative simplicity. The purpose of this talk is to augment the stabilizer formalism by introducing a graphical representation of stabilizer states. We furthermore demonstrate how Clifford operations, Pauli measurements, and stabilizer codes can be interpreted graphically using this approach.
