Complete set of unitary irreps of Discrete Heisenberg Group $HW_{2^s}$

Abstract

Following the method of induced group representations of Wigner-Mackay, the explicit construction of all the unitary irreducible representations of the discrete finite Heisenberg-Weyl group $HW_{2^s}$ over the discrete phase space lattice $Z_{2^s}$ $\otimes$ $Z_{2^s}$ is presented. We explicitly determine their characters and their fusion rules. We discuss possible physical applications for finite quantum mechanics and quantum computation.
