Faster-than-Clifford simulations of entanglement purification circuits

Researchers have developed a simulation algorithm for distillation circuits with per-gate complexity of O(1) , drastically faster than O(N) Clifford simulators or O(2N) wavefunction simulators over N qubits.

All most expensive 6-qubit Clifford unitaries requiring 15 entangling gates (up to left and right multiplication by the single-qubit gates and qubit relabeling).
