The integrality and self-duality conjecture for Clifford-group characters

From papers

Let Cn\mathcal{C}_n be the nn-qubit Clifford group, and let its character table consist of the values of its irreducible characters on its conjugacy classes.

Integrality and self-duality conjecture. The entries in the character table of Cn\mathcal{C}_n are integers, and hence all irreducible characters of Cn\mathcal{C}_n are self-dual.

This is verified for many conjugacy classes, including those containing H1H_1, P1P_1, P12P_1^2, H1P1H_1P_1, and Z1Z_1. The asserted property would further imply that all irreducible representations of Cn\mathcal{C}_n are self-dual, paralleling a notable property of symmetric groups.
