Iteratively decoded magic state distillation

Quantum Physics 2026-01-28 v2

Abstract

We present numerical simulation results for the 7-to-1 and 15-to-1 state distillation circuits, constructed using transversal CNOTs acting on multiple surface code patches. The distillation circuits are decoded iteratively using the method outlined in [arXiv:2407.20976]. We show that, with a re-configurable qubit architecture, we can perform fast magic state distillation in O(1)\sim\mathcal{O}(1) code cycles. We confirm that both circuits suppress an injected input error rate pp to O(p3)\mathcal{O}(p^3) in the presence of additional circuit-level noise. We also outline how ZX-calculus and Pauli webs can be used to benchmark stabiliser proxies for these distillation circuits.
