32. This generalizes Pauli channels in arbitrary dimension. An example of such a set is operators of the form XkZl where X and Z act on the basis states 0©,...,d-1© as Xj©=j.1© and Zj©=e2πij.dj©, with. denoting addition modulo d. Other examples and general theory can be found in A. Klappenecker and M. Roetteler, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory IETTAW 0018-9448 10.1109/TIT.2002.800471 48, 2392 (2002).
