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 code cycles. We confirm that both circuits suppress an injected input error rate to 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.
