abstract

The LU-LC conjecture is an important open problem concerning the structure of entanglement of states described in the stabilizer formalism. It states that two local unitary equivalent stabilizer states are also local Clifford equivalent. If this conjecture were true, the local equivalence of stabilizer states would be extremely easy to characterize. Unfortunately, however, based on the recent progress made by Gross and Van den Nest, we find that the conjecture is false.

The Structure of Circle Graph States

quant-ph · 2026-03-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Circle graphs are closed under r-local complementation and bipartite circle graph states correspond one-to-one with planar code states whose MBQC is classically simulable.
