Description
The [[7,1,3]] Steane code and [[23,1,7]] quantum Golay code have been identified as good candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing via code concatenation. These two codes have transversal implementations of all Clifford gates but require some other scheme for fault-tolerant gates. Using magic states, Clifford operations, and measurements is one common scheme, but magic-state distillation can have a large overhead. Code conversion is one avenue for implementing a universal gate set fault tolerantly without the use of magic-state distillation. Analogously to how the [[7,1,3]] Steane code can be fault tolerantly converted to and from the [[15,1,3]] Reed-Muller code which has a transversal gate, the [[23,1,7]] Golay code can be converted to a [[95,1,7]] triorthogonal code with a transversal gate. A crucial ingredient of this procedure is the [[49,1,5]] triorthogonal code, which can itself be seen as being related to the self-dual [[17,1,5]] two-dimensional color code. Additionally, a method for code conversion based on a transversal cnot between the codes, rather than stabilizer measurements, is described.
