Abstract
The Clifford group is the set of gates generated by the CZ gate, and the two local gates: the Hadamard and the Pi/2 phase shift gate. It is known that, for a two qubit system, the Clifford group C2 is a subgroup of order 92160 of the group of 4 by 4 unitary matrices. It is also known that the local Clifford gates LC2 is a subgroup of order 4608 of the group C2. In order to better understand the set C2, we make two matrices U1 and U2 in C2 equivalent if U_1=VU_2 for some V in LC2. We show that this equivalence relation splits C2 into 20 orbits, O1, ..., O20, each with 4608 elements. Moreover, for each orbit Oi, CZOi intersects 9 different orbits Oi1, ...,Oi9. Moreover, the intersection of Oij and CZOi has 512 matrices for each j=1,2, ..., ,9.
