On Classical Simulation of Quantum Circuits Composed of Clifford Gates

The Gottesman–Knill theorem asserts that quantum circuits composed solely of Clifford gates can be efficiently simulated classically. This theorem hinges on the fact that Clifford gates map Pauli strings to other Pauli strings, thereby allowing for a structured simulation process using classical co...
