A new preprint posted to arXiv demonstrates that any n-qubit Clifford unitary can be built using at most 2n multi-qubit joint measurements. These measurements can be organized into no more than two sets of mutually commuting operations, each containing at most n measurements, which lets engineers trade off the number of qubits versus the number of steps more freely. The authors also describe a version based on multi-target CNOT gates that could work well with emerging fault-tolerant hardware using Quantum LDPC codes. This is a purely theoretical mathematical proof with no experiments, no sample size, and no empirical data; as an arXiv preprint (not yet peer-reviewed), real-world limitations such as noise, hardware constraints, and error rates are not addressed.
