abstract

We present quantum protocols for executing arbitrarily accurate $\pi/2^k$ rotations of a qubit about its $Z$ axis. Reduced instruction set computing (\textsc{risc}) architectures typically restrict the instruction set to stabilizer operations and a single non-stabilizer operation, such as preparation of a "magic" state from which $T = Z(\pi/4)$ gates can be teleported. Although the overhead required to distill high-fidelity copies of this magic state is high, the subsequent quantum compiling overhead to realize $Z$ rotations in a \textsc{risc} architecture can be much greater. We develop a complex instruction set computing (\textsc{cisc}) architecture whose instruction set includes stabilizer operations and preparation of magic states from which $Z(\pi/2^k)$ gates can be teleported, for $2 \leq k \leq k_{\text{max}}$. This results in a substantial overall reduction in the number of gates required to achieve a desired gate accuracy for $Z$ rotations. The key to our construction is a family of shortened quantum Reed-Muller codes of length $2^{k+2}-1$, whose magic-state distillation threshold shrinks with $k$ but is greater than 0.85% for $k \leq 6$.

Magic state cultivation: growing T states as cheap as CNOT gates

quant-ph · 2024-09-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Magic state cultivation prepares high-fidelity T states with an order of magnitude fewer qubit-rounds than prior distillation methods by gradually growing them within a surface code under depolarizing noise.

Parity-unfolded distillation architecture for noise-biased platforms

quant-ph · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A new fault-tolerant scheme called parity unfolding distills gates from any Clifford hierarchy level using 2^{k+3} + O(2^{k/2}) biased-noise qubits, cutting logical error rates by 43% and resources by 26% for arbitrary rotation synthesis compared to T-only distillation.
