Efficient fault-tolerant implementations of non-Clifford gates with reconfigurable atom arrays by Yifei Wang, Yixu Wang, Yu-An Chen, Wenjun Zhang, Tao Zhang, Jiazhong Hu, Wenlan Chen, Yingfei Gu, Zi-Wen Liu

“…We demonstrate that several characteristic features of the reconfigurable atom array platform are inherently well-suited for addressing this key challenge, potentially leading to significant advantages in fidelity and efficiency. Specifically, we consider a series of different strategies, including magic state distillation, concatenated code array, and fault-tolerant logical multi-controlled-Z gates, leveraging key platform features such as nonlocal connectivity, parallel gate action, collective mobility, and native multi-controlled-Z gates. …”
