Magic State Distillation using Asymptotically Good Codes on Qudits
Abstract
Qudits offer the potential for low-overhead magic state distillation, although previous results for asymptotically good codes have required qudit dimension or code length . These parameters far exceed experimental demonstrations of qudit platforms, and thus motivate the search for better codes. Using a novel lifting procedure, we construct the first family of good triorthogonal codes on the alphabet with that lies above the Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink bound. These codes yield a family of asymptotically good quantum codes with transversal CCZ gates, enabling constant space overhead magic state distillation with qudit dimension as small as . Further, we identify a promising code with parameters . Finally, we show that a distilled can be reduced to a state for arbitrary with a constant-depth Clifford circuit of at most 9 computational basis measurements, 12 single-qudit and 9 two-qudit Clifford gates.
