Any practical construction of a quantum computer requires choosing a good set of quantum logic gates: formally, a finite set of unitary matrices that can efficiently approximate arbitrary unitary matrices through short products. We discuss how ideas relating to the Lubotzky-Phillips-Sarnak construction of expander graphs applying Bruhat-Tits theory and the theory of Automorphic representations can help construct these gate sets. We also present the first known construction of optimally efficient "golden" gates for multiple qubits.
