[\![567,\,9,\,2]\!] factory

As gates: \mathrm{T}_{0}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{1}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{2}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{3}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{4}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{5}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{6}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{7}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{8}

As monomials: 0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 (output wires per term, separated by +)

This row stands for every gate that a CNOT circuit and S, Z and CZ gates on the outputs can reach from this one. They all prepare the same magic state. The wires are shown in the S_k-canonical frame.

With every rotation a \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{diag}(1,e^{i\pi/4}), the rotations deposit the gate above times a diagonal Clifford. Undo it after the rotations and before the checks are measured, with 9 single-wire gates: \mathrm{S} on output 0, \mathrm{S} on output 1, \mathrm{S} on output 2, \mathrm{S} on output 3, \mathrm{S} on output 4, \mathrm{S} on output 5, \mathrm{S} on output 6, \mathrm{S} on output 7, \mathrm{S} on output 8. The circuit's action is then exactly the gate above, and an error-free run passes every check with certainty.

Or no Clifford gate at all: run every rotation as \mathrm{T}^\dagger. A power of \mathrm{T} costs one magic state, like \mathrm{T} itself. For a code this is a transversal \mathrm{T} gate, \mathrm{T}^j on each qubit.

Rotations are numbered by matrix column, from 0. The correction comes from the columns by the weight expansion of Bravyi and Haah (2012). verify_catalog.py re-derives it, checks the corrected circuit's phase input by input against the gate, and on small circuits simulates it gate by gate.

A CNOT circuit on the outputs, followed by S, Z and CZ gates, turns this factory's gate into other gates that prepare the same magic state. Type a target gate to check whether it is reachable. If it is, you get the circuit, checked on every basis state.

d=2, exact. No fault of weight below 2 is both undetectable and damaging. One of weight 2 is.

Exactly 8,652 faults of weight 2 are undetectable and damaging, so A_{2}=8{,}652. If each rotation fails independently with probability p, an accepted run has a damaged output with probability A_{2}\,p^{2}+O(p^{3}).

A damaging fault of weight 2 sits on columns [35,56].

A fault is a set of faulty columns. It is undetectable when their check parts cancel, and damaging when their output parts do not.
