This paper provides a rigorous mathematical characterization of isometry groups for right-invariant metrics on SU(2^N), directly supporting Nielsen's geometric framework for defining quantum computational complexity. By formalizing the symmetries inherent in these specific Riemannian structures, the work offers essential theoretical tools for analyzing the geometry of quantum circuits and state spaces.
Isometry Groups of Right Invariant Metrics in Geometric Quantum Complexity
arXiv:2609.20987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we give a complete description for the full isometry groups of a class of right invariant Riemannian metrics on the special unitary group $\mathrm{SU}(2^N)$. These metrics have been used by physicists to study Nielsen's geometric approach for complexities in quantum computations.
