Quantum Codes from Twisted Unitary $t$-groups

We introduce twisted unitary $t$-groups, a generalization of unitary $t$-groups under a twisting by an irreducible representation. We then apply representation theoretic methods to the Knill-Laflamme error correction conditions to show that twisted unitary $t$-groups automatically correspond to quantum codes with distance $d=t+1$. By construction these codes have many transversal gates, which naturally do not spread errors and thus are useful for fault tolerance.
