Magic state distillation protocols have a complicated non-linear nature. Analysis of protocols is therefore usually restricted to one-parameter families of states, which aids tractability. We show that if we lift this one-parameter…

Magic state distillation is a resource intensive sub-routine for quantum computation. The ratio of noisy input states to output states with error rate at most $\epsilon$ scales as $O(\log^{\gamma}(1/\epsilon))$ (Bravyi and Haah, PRA 2012).…
