Abstract: We provide a generalized definition for the quantized Clifford algebra introduced by Hayashi using another parameter k that we call the twist. For a field of characteristic not equal to 2, we provide a basis for our quantized Clifford algebra, show that it can be decomposed into rank 1 components, and compute its center to show it is a classical Clifford algebra over the group algebra of a product of cyclic groups of order 2k. In addition, we characterize the semisimplicity of our quantum Clifford algebra in terms of the semisimplicity of a cyclic group of order 2k and give a complete set of irreducible representations. We construct morphisms from quantum groups and explain various relationships between the classical and quantum Clifford algebras. By changing our generators, we provide a further generalization to allow k to be a half integer, where we recover certain quantum Clifford algebras introduced by Fadeev, Reshetikhin, and Takhtajan as a special case.
