15-to-1 distillation protocol in lattice surgery: doesn't the potential rejection of the level-1 magic states makes it last longer than $15$ timestep?
Overview of my question
I am following Litinsky's paper, and I would like to better understand how the duration of the level-2 15-to-1 distillation protocol is being estimated. Litinsky's says that it ...

15-to-1 distillation protocol implemented with lattice surgery: don't we loose transversality by commuting Clifford toward measurements?
I am following Litinsky's paper explaining the 15-to-1 distillation protocol.
The usual "trick" done to distill, say the $|T \rangle \equiv T |+ \rangle$ magic state, is to use a code ...

15-to-1 distillation protocol: why is the probability of error of the distilled state $35p^3$ and not $\binom{15}{3} p^3=455p^3$?
The circuit performing the $15$-to-$1$ distillation of the magic state $T|+\rangle$ is shown below (figure taken from Litinski's paper).
The first gates encode the $|+\rangle$ of the 15 qubit code. A ...

Injecting arbitrary rotations into the surface code
I'm trying to find an exact resource count for specific QFTs.
A QFT generally needs small power-of-two rotations. These can be constructed out of Clifford+T, but I'm wondering if one can inject them ...

Understanding entanglement distillation via stabilizer codes?
I am having some trouble understanding the distillation of EPR pairs using a stabilizer code. This idea goes back to the paper by Bennet, DiVincenzo, Smolin, and Wooters.
The idea (I think) is that $k$...

How to prove that the distillable entanglement satisfies $E_D(|\psi_d\rangle\!\langle\psi_d|)\ge \log d$?
If I have a pure state vector:
$$
\left|\psi_d\right\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\sum^{d}_{i=1}\left|ii\right\rangle
$$
then the distillable entanglement satisfies:
$$
E_{D}(\left|\psi_d\right\rangle\...

Why the perfect 5-qubit code was used for magic state distillation?

Necessity for discarding errored magic state distillation
The magic state distillation process ends with measuring the state of a logical qubit that is encoded in many (for example 15) data qubits.
Why does the distillation needs to be discarded and repeated ...

How are the singlets distilled in Bennett et al.'s 1995 protocol?
Context --- $\newcommand{\ket}[1]{|#1\rangle}$In (Bennett et al. 1995) the authors present a scheme to concentrate entanglement from a given pure bipartite state via LOCCs. More precisely, given a ...

Why does the entanglement entropy give the number of singlets required to create a given state?
I've read that, given a bipartite pure state $|\Phi\rangle$, its entanglement (equivalently here, von Neumann) entropy $E(\Phi)$ gives the asymptotic number of singlets required to create $n$ copies ...

What is the intuition behind the following entanglement distillation protocol for continuous variable systems?
The protocol is:
We start with a supply
of identically prepared bipartite non-Gaussian states. The overall protocol then amounts to an iteration of the following
basic steps.
The states will be mixed ...
