Abstract
We discuss recent algorithmic work in the design of universal single-qubit gate sets for quantum computing. Using the quaternionically-derived “super golden gates,” we connect the problem of efficient approximate synthesis of given gates to arbitrary precision in quantum hardware design to “icosahedral gates” constructed using the symmetries of the icosahedron, which enjoy a form of optimality. This area also has connections with questions of navigating Ramanujan graphs, a problem which arises in other contexts.
