We show how to perform scalable fault-tolerant non-Clifford gates in two dimensions by introducing domain walls between the surface code and a non-Abelian topological code whose codespace is stabilized by Clifford operators. We formulate a path integral framework which provides both a macroscopic picture for different logical gates as well as a way to derive the associated microscopic circuits. We also show an equivalence between our approach and prior proposals where a 2D array of qubits reproduces the action of a transversal gate in a 3D stabilizer code over time, thus, establishing a new connection between 3D codes and 2D non-Abelian topological phases. We prove a threshold theorem for our protocols under local stochastic circuit noise using a just-in-time decoder to correct the non-Abelian code.

  1. Finding diagonal logical gates in CSS codes and circuits

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Diagonal logical gates of a CSS code or circuit are exactly the kernel of a pullback map on phase functions, and that kernel can be computed in cubic time.

  2. Constant-Depth Clifford-Hierarchy Gates via Non-Abelian Surface Codes

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-Abelian surface codes based on dihedral groups D_{4N} implement transversal phase gates T^{1/N} at any Clifford-hierarchy level in 2D, with a qubit-only version when 8N is a power of two.

  3. Efficient simulation of logical magic state preparation protocols

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A classical simulation method that propagates circuit-level Pauli noise to a Clifford error makes logical magic-state preparation protocols simulable in time polynomial in qubits and the target state's stabilizer rank.

  4. Non-Clifford gates between stabilizer codes via non-Abelian topological order

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A protocol uses the non-Abelian S3 quantum double as an intermediate to implement a controlled charge-conjugation (CC) gate between qubit and qutrit surface codes.
