Abstract: The Clifford group is a fundamental structure in quantum information with a wide variety of applications. We discuss the tensor representations of the $q$-qubit Clifford group, which is defined as the normalizer of the $q$-qubit Pauli group in $U(2^q)$. In particular, we characterize all irreducible subrepresentations of the two-copy representation $varph{i}^{otimes2}$ of the Clifford group on the matrix space $mathbb{C}^{dimesd}otimesmathbb{C}^{dimesd}$ with $d=2^q$. In an upcoming companion paper we applied this result to cut down the number of samples necessary to perform randomised benchmarking, a method for characterising quantum systems.
