It corresponds to Theorem 1 in {citet Appleby}[]. :::theorem "Clifford_group_structure" (parent := "Structure_core") (effort := "large") Let $`d` be an odd prime. Let $`\mathrm{I}(d) = \{ e^{i\theta} I : \theta \in \mathbb{R} \}` be the subgroup of $`\Cliff(d)` from {uses "Clifford_group"}[] consisting of all scalar multiples of the identity. There exists a unique group isomorphism $$`f \colon \SL(2,ℤ_d) \ltimes ℤ_d^2 \to \Cliff(d)/\mathrm{I}(d)` such that for each $`U` in the coset $`f(F, \bchi)` and all $`\p \in ℤ^2`, $$`U D_{\p} U^\dagger = \omega^{\langle \bchi, F\p \rangle} D_{F\p}` where $`\omega` is the $`d`-th root of unity from {uses "omega"}[], $`D_\p` is the displacement operator from {uses "displacement"}[], and $`\braket{\cdot,\cdot}` is the symplectic inner product from {uses "symplectic_inner_product"}[]. ::: This theorem allows us to compute the size of the Clifford group, see Lemma 5 in {citet Appleby}[]. :::lemma_ "Clifford_group_size" (parent := "Structure_core") (effort := "medium") If $`d` is an odd prime then $$`|\Cliff(d)/\mathrm{I}(d)| = d^3 (d^2 - 1).` :::
