Clifford operators in SU(N)1; N not odd prime

Abstract

Farinholt gives a characterization of Clifford operators for qudits; d both odd and even. In this comment it is shown that the necessary gates for the construction of Clifford operators; N both odd and even, are obtained directly from operations that appear in SU(N)1. A witness for W3 states in SU(2)1 is discussed. See e.g. [1-4].
