Tomorrow I'm gonna start work on a program to actually compute/brute force quantum gate decompositions.
I've actually made one previously, but it was really only for single-qubit or controlled phase gates.
And so that can serve as the "base case" for this large scale thing.

@PhiNotPi I have no idea how you could do that...
I assume you want integer exponents?
Already the non-commutativity is going to make life hard.
Are the matrices regular?

@flawr define regular.

Det != 0, or invertible

Yes
In fact, they are unitary meaning their inverse is their conjugate transpose.

I believe the methods I mention here are overkill, shouldn't there be an easier way?
