[\![599,\,1,\,6]\!] factory

As gates: \mathrm{T}_{0}

As monomials: 0 (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 4 single-wire gates and 6 \mathrm{CZ} gates: \mathrm{S} on output 0, \mathrm{S} on check 150, \mathrm{Z} on check 151, \mathrm{S}^\dagger on check 152, \mathrm{CZ} on output 0, check 150, \mathrm{CZ} on output 0, check 152, \mathrm{CZ} on check 150, check 151, \mathrm{CZ} on check 150, check 152, \mathrm{CZ} on check 150, check 153, \mathrm{CZ} on check 152, check 153. 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 \mathrm{T}^\dagger on rotations 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 323 more (listed below), and \mathrm{T} on the rest. 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.

6\le d\le 15. No fault of weight below 6 is both undetectable and damaging. None of weight 6 has been found, and one of weight 15 is, so the distance lies between the two.

A damaging fault of weight 15 sits on columns [0,79,158,237,316,363,410,457,504,527,550,567,584,591,598].

Its source certifies d\ge 15, as a lower bound. That certificate is not re-checked here, but rankings on this site may use it. With the damaging fault of weight 15 above, it makes the distance exactly d=15. Source: Jain and Albert (arXiv:2408.12752), Table II: [[79,1,15]] quantum QR code (extended QR [80,40,16]) doubled onto [[441,1,13]]; the doubling theorem of their Sec. III gives d >= min(d_sd, d_tri + 2) = 15, with d_sd at least the classical distance less one (their Lemma 2.4).

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