Abstract: We introduce a fault-tolerant protocol for code concatenation using a butterfly network architecture with high noise thresholds and low ancilla overhead to allow implementation on current devices. We develop a probability passing decoder using tensor networks that applies Bayesian updates to the marginal error probabilities after each layer of checks, achieving a state preparation threshold of ec0.089e_c \approx 0.089 for erasure errors, and 0.015\approx 0.015 for unheralded noise. We implement our state preparation protocol on ion-trap hardware with added noise to demonstrate the threshold behavior in a real quantum device. We further theoretically test the performance of our scheme as a quantum memory and for universal quantum computation through the preparation of low-noise magic states for state distillation and TT-gate injection.
