Transversal gates and error propagation in 3D topological codes

Quantum Physics 2018-10-24 v1

Abstract

I study the interplay of errors with transversal gates in 3D color codes, and introduce some new such gates. Two features of the transversal T gate stand out: (i) it naturally defines a set of correctable errors, and (ii) it exhibits a `linking charge' phenomenon that is of interest for a wide class of 3D topologically ordered systems.
