Abstract

Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes can encode many logical qubits within a single code block at low physical qubit overhead, yet magic state injection into such codes remains largely underexplored. Existing state injection proposals for qLDPC codes predominantly follow an external prepare-and-transfer paradigm, in which raw magic states are prepared outside the target code block and subsequently injected via inter-code operations. We propose the first \emph{in-situ} magic state injection: a scheme in which logical magic states are directly prepared within a qLDPC memory block, only using resources required for syndrome extraction. We show that our scheme is generalizable to any CSS qLDPC code, with examples of circuit-level simulations on the $[[144,12,12]]$ Bivariate Bicycle (BB) code and the $[[225,9,4]]$ Hypergraph Product code. We focus on a regime where correlated injection errors are negligible. In the BB code, this corresponds to a configuration that simultaneously injects four logical $|Y\rangle$ states. Under a uniform depolarizing noise model with physical error rate $10^{-3}$, this achieves an injection error rate of $1.62 \times 10^{-3}$ per logical qubit, while the correlated-error contribution is only $2 \times 10^{-5}$ per logical qubit (about $1\%$ of the injection error rate). Under a hardware-motivated asymmetric noise model where single-qubit gate errors are $10\%$ of two-qubit gate errors, the injection error rate per logical qubit falls to $ 6.7 \times 10^{-4} $, below the error rate ($ 10^{-3} $) of the two-qubit gates used to encode the magic states. Its simplicity allows our scheme to be applied to arbitrary CSS qLDPC codes using only the ancilla qubits native to syndrome extraction, and yield a reduction in space overhead relative to both prepare-and-transfer approaches and surface-code-based magic state injection schemes.

Constant-Overhead Magic State Injection into qLDPC Codes with Error Independence Guarantees

Zhang Guo, Zhu, Yuanye, Xiao Yuan +1 more

Magic states are essential yet resource-intensive components for realizing universal fault-tolerant quantum computation. Preparing magic states within emerging quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes poses additional challenges, due to the complex encoding structures. Here, we introduce a generic and scalable method for magic state injection into arbitrarily selected logical qubits encoded using qLDPC codes. Our approach, based on parallelized code surgery, supports the injection from either physical qubits or low-distance logical qubits. For qLDPC code families with asymptotically constant encoding rates, the method achieves injection into $Θ(k)$ logical qubits -- where $k$ denotes the logical qubit number of the code -- with only constant qubit overhead and a time complexity of $\tilde{O}(d^2)$, where $d$ is the code distance. A central contribution of this work is a rigorous proof that errors affecting the injected magic states remain independent throughout the procedure. This independence ensures the resilience of logical qubits against interactions with noisy ancillae and preserves the presumption of subsequent magic state distillation protocols. We further support our theoretical results with numerical validation through circuit-level simulations. These findings advance the feasibility of scalable, fault-tolerant universal quantum computing using qLDPC codes, offering a pathway to significantly reduced qubit resource requirements in magic state injection.

Efficient Quantum Error Correction from Three Dimensional Qubit Control

Kevin Yipu Wu, Ohik Kwon, Maxwell F. Parsons

High-rate quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes can substantially reduce qubit overhead relative to surface codes, but their advantage depends on efficiently realizing nonlocal syndrome extraction. We study the \([[144,12,12]]\) bivariate bicycle code on a neutral-atom architecture with native three-dimensional (3D) geometry, comparing planar and 3D embeddings while holding the code fixed. We characterize spatial efficiency using the logical-qubit density, defined as the number of encoded logical qubits per unit spatial footprint. Because the optical controller's field of view limits the transverse extent of an array, this metric estimates the number of logical qubits that can be accommodated within a fixed optical field of view. The 3D embedding achieves approximately \(4\times\) greater areal logical-qubit density than the planar layout and \(42\times\) greater than a surface-code baseline. It also reduces the bivariate bicycle syndrome-extraction time by roughly \(2\times\) compared to a planar baseline, with fewer movement operations and substantially shorter atom-transport distance. Native 3D geometry can improve both the packing density and executable realization of nonlocal qLDPC codes, making practical performance depend jointly on code structure, optical geometry, transport scheduling, and hardware-level noise. This motivates further development of control techniques in 3D.

Single-shot magic state factories for quantum LDPC codes

Varun Menon, Rohan Mehta, Andi Gu +8 more

Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes can substantially reduce the qubit overhead of fault-tolerant quantum computation, but any useful architecture based on such codes also requires an efficient mechanism to implement non-Clifford gates in a fault-tolerant manner. We introduce a space-time-efficient magic state factory for high-rate qLDPC codes by combining the transversal non-Clifford gates of recently developed tricycle codes with single-shot four-dimensional balanced product quadcycle codes. The key ingredient is an efficient "escape" mechanism that teleports postselected logical magic states from tricycle codes to larger distance quadcycle codes. Under a standard circuit-level noise model at physical error rate $10^{-3}$, our factories produce $\mathrm{CCZ}$ states at logical error rates as low as $10^{-9}$ with 10-40 times lower space-time cost than state-of-the-art magic state generation methods. The resulting states are directly encoded in high-rate blocks suitable for computation. We identify the quadcycle codes by an AI-assisted search and show that they can serve as excellent memories capable of single-shot error correction. Finally, we present a concrete implementation of the entire factory with highly efficient atom transport on reconfigurable neutral-atom quantum computers. Together, these results provide an end-to-end, practical protocol for producing and utilizing high-fidelity magic states within a high-rate qLDPC architecture, with the lowest space-time cost to date.

Batched high-rate logical operations for quantum LDPC codes

Qian Xu, Hengyun Zhou, Dolev Bluvstein +5 more

High-rate quantum LDPC (qLDPC) codes reduce memory overhead by densely packing many logical qubits into a single block of physical qubits. Here we extend this concept to high-rate computation by constructing \emph{batched} fault-tolerant operations that apply the same logical gate across many code blocks in parallel. By leveraging shared physical resources to execute many logical operations in parallel, these operations realize high rates in space-time and significantly reduce computational costs. For \emph{arbitrary} CSS qLDPC codes, we build batched gadgets with \emph{constant space-time overhead} (assuming fast classical computation) for (i) single-shot error correction, state preparation, and code surgeries (ii) code switching, and (iii) addressable Clifford gates. Using these batched gadgets we also construct parallel non-Clifford gates with low space-time cost. We outline principles for designing parallel quantum algorithms optimized for a batched architecture, and show in particular how lattice Hamiltonian dynamical simulations can be compiled efficiently. We also propose a near-term implementation using new self-dual Bivariate-Bicycle codes with high encoding rates ($\sim 1/10$), transversal Clifford gates, and global $T$ gates via parallel magic state cultivation, enabling Hamiltonian simulations with a lower space-time cost than analogous surface-code protocols and low-rate qLDPC protocols. These results open new paths toward scalable quantum computation via co-design of parallel quantum algorithms and high-rate fault-tolerant protocols.

Logical computation with canonical lifted product codes

Han Zheng, Guo Zheng, Liang Jiang +1 more

High-rate quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes encode many logical qubits with low physical-qubit overhead, but realizing efficient fault-tolerant computation on such dense encodings remains a major challenge. Generic, code-agnostic techniques such as code surgery and gate teleportation apply broadly, but are difficult to make modular, low-overhead, and fully certifiable on complex high-rate codes whose structure is left unexploited. Here we overcome these obstacles by co-designing the code together with its logical instruction set for a broad family of canonical lifted-product (LP) codes with cyclic symmetry. We show that these codes admit a canonical logical basis, in which conjugate logical operators are organized into rows and columns of cyclic orbits inherited directly from the underlying classical codes, analogous to the structure that makes hypergraph-product codes so tractable. This canonical basis enables universal logical processing using magic-state input and a constant number of reusable seed surgery gadgets---only two (resp. four) for a $[[1122,148,\leq 20]]$ (resp. $[[4350,1224,\leq 20]]$) LP code. A fixed extractor smaller than half the data block also enables arbitrarily high-weight logical Pauli-product measurements (PPMs) while preserving the code's cyclic symmetry. These codes also enable rigorously fault-tolerant parallel logic, including PPMs across all logical qubits and magic-state injection from many surface codes into a full LP block. For example, a $[[468,36,20]]$ (resp. $[[952,112,17]]$) code supports simultaneous measurements of arbitrary logically disjoint Pauli products with an ancilla overhead of roughly three (resp. four) times the data block size. These results advance the frontier of fault-tolerant quantum computation on ultra-high-rate quantum architectures.

Mirror codes: High-threshold quantum LDPC codes beyond the CSS regime

Andrey Boris Khesin, Jonathan Z. Lu

The realization of quantum error correction protocols whose logical error rates are suppressed far below physical error rates relies on an intricate combination: the error-correcting code's efficiency, the syndrome extraction circuit's fault tolerance and overhead, the decoder's quality, and the device's constraints, such as physical qubit count and connectivity. This work makes two contributions towards error-corrected quantum devices. First, we introduce mirror codes, a simple yet flexible construction of LDPC stabilizer codes parameterized by a group $G$ and two subsets of $G$ whose total size bounds the check weight. These codes contain all abelian two-block group algebra codes, such as bivariate bicycle (BB) codes. At the same time, they are manifestly not CSS in general, thus deviating substantially from most prior constructions. Fixing a check weight of 6, we find $[[ 60, 4, 10 ]], [[ 36, 6, 6 ]], [[ 48, 8, 6 ]]$, and $[[ 85, 8, 9 ]]$ codes, all of which are not CSS; we also find several weight-7 codes with $kd > n$. Next, we construct syndrome extraction circuits that trade overhead for provable fault tolerance. These circuits use 1-2, 3, and 6 ancillae per check, and respectively are partially fault-tolerant (FT), provably FT on weight-6 CSS codes, and provably FT on \emph{all} weight-6 stabilizer codes. Using our constructions, we perform end-to-end quantum memory experiments on several representative mirror codes under circuit-level noise. We achieve an error pseudothreshold on the order of $0.2\%$, approximately matching that of the $[[ 144, 12, 12 ]]$ BB code under the same model. These findings position mirror codes as a versatile candidate for fault-tolerant quantum memory, especially on smaller-scale devices in the near term.
