In this paper we study universality for quantum gates acting on qudits.Qudits are states in a Hilbert space of dimension d where d is at least two. We determine which 2-qudit gates V have the properties (i) the collection of all 1-qudit gates together with V produces all n-qudit gates up to arbitrary precision, or (ii) the collection of all 1-qudit gates together with V produces all n-qudit gates exactly. We show that (i) and (ii) are equivalent conditions on V, and they hold if and only if V is not a primitive gate. Here we say V is primitive if it transforms any decomposable tensor into a decomposable tensor. We discuss some applications and also relations with work of other authors.

  3. Characterizing quantum channels from local-unitary invariants

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Develops moments from local-unitary invariants via Haar integrals to characterize entanglement behavior of two-qubit channels, with second-order moments yielding criteria for non-entangling and entanglement-breaking channels.
