Abstract

The object of this paper is to mathematically investigate characteristics of a geodesic equation describing possible minimum complexity paths in the special unitary group manifold representing the unitary evolution of n qubits associated with a quantum computation. Simple solutions are elaborated for the case of three qubits.
