Clifford group

This article is about a group in quantum mechanics. For the subgroups of the Clifford algebra, see Lipschitz group.

The Clifford group encompasses a set of quantum operations that map the set of n-fold Pauli group products into itself. It is most famously studied for its use in quantum error correction.[1]
