Abstract: (arXiv)
We propose a protocol to prepare a high-fidelity magic state on a 2D color code using a 3D color code. Our method modifies the known code switching protocol with (i) a transversal gate between the 2D and the 3D code and (ii) a judicious use of flag-based post-selection. We numerically demonstrate that these modifications lead to a significant improvement in the fidelity of the magic state. For instance, subjected to a uniform circuit-level noise of , our code switching protocol yields a magic state encoded in the distance- 2D color code with a logical infidelity of (quantified by an error-corrected logical state tomography) with a of acceptance rate. Used in conjunction with a more recently proposed post-selection approach, extrapolation from a polynomial fit suggests a fidelity improvement to for the same code. Finally, we also present a novel simulation technique akin to an extended stabilizer simulator which effectively incorporates the non-Clifford -gate.Note:
