“…For this reason, we added visual schematic depictions together with background GA preliminary technical details (including, for instance, what appears in Appendix A). Moreover, we were able to highlight most of the very interesting works we have partially inspired throughout these years [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Finally, we were able to suggest limitations and, at the same time, proposals for future research directions compatible with the current scientific knowledge at the boundaries between GA and quantum computing (with the concept of entanglement playing a prominent role).…”

Alternative mathematical explorations in quantum computing can be of great scientific interest, especially if they come with penetrating physical insights. In this paper, we present a critical revisitation of our application of geometric (Clifford) algebras (GAs) in quantum computing as originally presented in [C. Cafaro and S. Mancini, Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebras 21, 493 (2011)]. Our focus is on testing the usefulness of geometric algebras (GAs) techniques in two quantum computing applications. First, making use of the geometric algebra of a relativistic configuration space (namely multiparticle spacetime algebra or MSTA), we offer an explicit algebraic characterization of one- and two-qubit quantum states together with a MSTA description of one- and two-qubit quantum computational gates. In this first application, we devote special attention to the concept of entanglement, focusing on entangled quantum states and two-qubit entangling quantum gates. Second, exploiting the previously mentioned MSTA characterization together with the GA depiction of the Lie algebras SO3;R and SU2;C depending on the rotor group Spin+3,0 formalism, we focus our attention to the concept of universality in quantum computing by reevaluating Boykin’s proof on the identification of a suitable set of universal quantum gates. At the end of our mathematical exploration, we arrive at two main conclusions. Firstly, the MSTA perspective leads to a powerful conceptual unification between quantum states and quantum operators. More specifically, the complex qubit space and the complex space of unitary operators acting on them merge in a single multivectorial real space. Secondly, the GA viewpoint on rotations based on the rotor group Spin+3,0 carries both conceptual and computational advantages compared to conventional vectorial and matricial methods.
