Thanks, Michael, for these beautiful notes. One thing you forgot to mention as an application for quantum computing is the relation of your diagonalization of quadratic fermion Hamiltonians and the Jordan-Wigner transform to gate sets which are not universal, ala Terhal and Divincenzo’s result.
Thanks, Dave. You’re right, the Terhal-Divincenzo (Valiant, Knill) results are certainly a nice application of this circle of ideas!
Many thanks for the great notes.
