We prove by construction that the Bravyi-Poulin-Terhal bound on the spatial density of stabilizer codes does not generalize to stabilizer circuits. To do so, we construct a fault tolerant quantum computer with a coding rate above 5% and quasi-polylog time overhead, out of a line of qubits with nearest-neighbor connectivity, and prove it has a threshold. The construction is based on modifications to the tower of Hamming codes of Yamasaki and Koashi (Nature Physics, 2024), with operators measured using a variant of Shor's measurement gadget.

  1. Duality constrains optimal thresholds in quantum error correction

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Zero-rate em-symmetric CSS codes are self-dual under generalized Kramers-Wannier duality, pinning their optimal code-capacity threshold (at leading order in a replica limit) to the zero-rate hashing bound p≈0.110.

  2. Growing Sparse Quantum Codes from a Seed

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Conjoining only bit-flip and phase-flip repetition codes can generate any CSS code, and an iterative algorithm grows sparse subsystem codes with kd^2=O(n) worst-case scaling.
