-Generates and enumerates the 24 elements of the local Clifford group
-Following the prescription of Anders (thesis pg. 26):
-> Table 2.1: The 24 elements of the local Clifford group. The row index (here called the “sign symbol”) shows how the operator
-> U permutes the Pauli operators σ = X, Y, Z under the conjugation σ = ±UσU† . The column index (the “permutation
-> symbol”) indicates the sign obtained under the conjugation: For operators U in the I column it is the sign of the permutation
-> (indicated on the left). For elements in the X, Y and Z columns, it is this sign only if the conjugated Pauli operator is the one
-> indicated by the column header and the opposite sign otherwise.
