Summary

A Weil-representation construction used polylogarithmic gates and ancilla qudits.

For every odd prime-power q and degree q plus one, the author constructs an infinite family of Ramanujan quantum expanders. The implementation uses O(log-squared N) elementary gates and O(log N) ancilla qudits for dimension N, and satisfies the stated singular-value bound exactly when the circuit is exact.
