Color codes are topological stabilizer codes with unusual transversality properties. Here I show that their group of transversal gates is optimal and only depends on the spatial dimension, not the local geometry. I also introduce a generalized, subsystem version of color codes. In 3D they allow the transversal implementation of a universal set of gates by gauge fixing, while error-detecting measurements involve only 4 or 6 qubits.

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

    quant-ph 2024-09 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.

  2. Long-range nonstabilizerness of topologically encoded states from mutual information

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Mutual information between non-contractible regions on the torus fully classifies long-range nonstabilizerness for toric-code states but leaves a finite subset undetected in the doubled-Fibonacci string-net model.

  3. Quantum Circuit Overhead

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Introduces QCO and T-QCO measures and numerically shows that the T gate is non-optimal for completing the Clifford set among order-8 gates.
