Day 849: The 15-to-1 Distillation Protocol

Day 849 of 2,016~19 min read

Learning Objectives

  • •**Explain the Reed-Muller code basis** for 15-to-1 distillation
  • •**Construct the distillation circuit** from stabilizer measurements
  • •**Derive the error scaling** $\epsilon_{\text{out}} \approx 35\epsilon_{\text{in}}^3$
  • •**Analyze the triorthogonality condition** and its role in error suppression
  • •**Calculate success probabilities** and post-selection overhead
  • •**Design multi-level distillation** strategies for target error rates
