In this talk we will study single qutrit quantum circuits consisting of words over the Clifford+D, Clifford+R and Clifford+T gate sets using algebraic methods. We propose a new technique to study the smallest denominator exponent of a matrix using derivatives mod p and apply this method to the exact synthesis problem for various universal gate sets.

This is work done in collaboration with Dinesh Valluri and Michele Mosca. The ArXiv link is https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.08696.
