Abstract

This paper introduces a framework for constructing Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes that support fault-tolerant logical transversal ZZ-rotations. Using this framework, we obtain asymptotically good CSS codes that fault-tolerantly realize the logical transversal Clifford group (i.e., transversal single-qubit Clifford gates are realized within a single code block, while transversal two-qubit Clifford gates are realized across two identical code blocks). Furthermore, investigating CSS-T codes, we: (a) demonstrate asymptotically good CSS-T codes wherein the transversal TT realizes the logical transversal SS^{\dagger}; (b) show that the condition C2C1C1C_2 \ast C_1 \subseteq C_1^{\perp} is necessary but not sufficient for CSS-T codes; and (c) revise the characterizations of CSS-T codes wherein the transversal TT implements the logical identity and the logical transversal TT, respectively.
