Single-shot magic state factories for quantum LDPC codes

arXiv:2610.10731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.
