[\![63,\,6,\,3]\!] factory

As gates: \mathrm{T}_{0}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{1}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{2}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{3}\cdot \mathrm{T}_{5}\cdot \mathrm{CS}_{01}\cdot \mathrm{CS}_{02}\cdot \mathrm{CS}_{25}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{012}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{013}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{014}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{023}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{024}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{034}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{035}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{123}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{124}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{125}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{134}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{145}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{245}\cdot \mathrm{CCZ}_{345}

As monomials: 0+1+2+3+5+01+02+25+012+013+014+023+024+034+035+123+124+125+134+145+245+345 (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 16 \mathrm{CZ} gates: \mathrm{S} on output 0, \mathrm{S}^\dagger on output 1, \mathrm{Z} on output 2, \mathrm{S}^\dagger on output 3, \mathrm{CZ} on output 0, output 1, \mathrm{CZ} on output 0, output 2, \mathrm{CZ} on output 0, output 3, \mathrm{CZ} on output 0, check 12, \mathrm{CZ} on output 1, output 2, \mathrm{CZ} on output 1, output 4, \mathrm{CZ} on output 1, output 5, \mathrm{CZ} on output 1, check 11, \mathrm{CZ} on output 1, check 13, \mathrm{CZ} on output 2, output 5, \mathrm{CZ} on output 2, check 12, \mathrm{CZ} on output 3, output 4, \mathrm{CZ} on output 3, output 5, \mathrm{CZ} on output 3, check 11, \mathrm{CZ} on output 3, check 13, \mathrm{CZ} on output 4, output 5. The circuit's action is then exactly the gate above, and an error-free run passes every check with certainty.

These Clifford gates cannot be avoided. No choice of \mathrm{T}, \mathrm{T}^3, \mathrm{T}^5 or \mathrm{T}^\dagger for each rotation removes them; the catalogue proves this by showing that the linear system over \mathbb{Z}_4 the powers would have to solve has no solution.

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=3, exact. No fault of weight below 3 is both undetectable and damaging. One of weight 3 is.

Exactly 283 faults of weight 3 are undetectable and damaging, so A_{3}=283. If each rotation fails independently with probability p, an accepted run has a damaged output with probability A_{3}\,p^{3}+O(p^{4}).

A damaging fault of weight 3 sits on columns [0,1,2].

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