Synthesis and Arithmetic of Single Qutrit Circuits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper we study single qutrit circuits consisting of words over the Clifford$+D$ cyclotomic gate set, where $D=\text{diag}(\pmξ^{a},\pmξ^{b},\pmξ^{c})$, $ξ$ is a primitive $9$-th root of unity and $a,b,c$ are integers. We characterize classes of qutrit unit vectors $z$ with entries in $\mathbb{Z}[ξ, \frac{1}χ]$ based on the possibility of reducing their smallest denominator exponent (sde) with respect to $χ:= 1 - ξ,$ by acting an appropriate gate in Clifford$+D$. We do this by studying the notion of `derivatives mod $3$' of an arbitrary element of $\mathbb{Z}[ξ]$ and using it to study the smallest denominator exponent of $HDz$ where $H$ is the qutrit Hadamard gate and $D$. In addition, we reduce the problem of finding all unit vectors of a given sde to that of finding integral solutions of a positive definite quadratic form along with some additional constraints. As a consequence we prove that the Clifford$+D$ gates naturally arise as gates with sde $0$ and $3$ in the group $U(3,\mathbb{Z}[ξ, \frac{1}χ])$ of $3 \times 3$ unitaries with entries in $\mathbb{Z}[ξ, \frac{1}χ]$. We illustrate the general applicability of these methods to obtain an exact synthesis algorithm for Clifford$+R$ and recover the previous exact synthesis algorithm in \cite{kmm}. The framework developed to formulate qutrit gate synthesis for Clifford$+D$ extends to qudits of arbitrary prime power.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
