Testing stabilizer states and Clifford unitaries
The question of stabilizer testing, i.e. given copies of an unknown state, deciding whether it is (close to) a stabilizer state or far (enough) away, has received a fair amount of attention recently. In this talk I'll give an overview of the progress that has been made, and highlight connections to additive combinatorics and the representation theory of the Clifford group. I'll also discuss the closely related problem of Clifford testing. The underlying material is necessarily somewhat technical, but I'll try to keep it as light as possible.
