Magic State Distillation using Asymptotically Good Codes on Qudits

Quantum Physics 2025-12-29 v1

Abstract

Qudits offer the potential for low-overhead magic state distillation, although previous results for asymptotically good codes have required qudit dimension q100q\gg 100 or code length N100\mathcal{N}\gg 100. 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 F22m\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}} alphabet with m3m \geq 3 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 q=64q=64. Further, we identify a promising code with parameters [[42,14,6]]64[[42,14,6]]_{64}. Finally, we show that a distilled CCZ22m|{CCZ}\rangle_{2^{2m}} can be reduced to a CCZ2n|{CCZ}\rangle_{2^n} state for arbitrary nn with a constant-depth Clifford circuit of at most 9 computational basis measurements, 12 single-qudit and 9 two-qudit Clifford gates.
