We study the implementation of fault-tolerant logical Clifford gates on stabilizer quantum error correcting codes based on their symmetries. Our approach is to map the stabilizer code to a binary linear code, compute its automorphism group, and impose constraints based on the Clifford operators permitted. We provide a rigorous formulation of the method for finding automorphisms of stabilizer codes and generalize ZX-dualities to non-CSS codes. We provide a Python package implementing our algorithms which uses the computational algebra system MAGMA. Our algorithms map automorphism group generators to physical circuits, calculate Pauli corrections based on the destabilizers of the code, and determine their logical action. We discuss the fault tolerance of the circuits and include examples of gates through automorphisms for the [[4,2,2]] and perfect [[5,1,3]] codes, bivariate bicycle codes, and the best known distance codes.

  1. Logical computation with canonical lifted product codes

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Canonical lifted-product qLDPC codes admit a row/column cyclic logical basis that enables constant-seed modular surgery, compact extractors, and parallel Clifford and magic primitives.

  2. Finding diagonal logical gates in CSS codes and circuits

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Diagonal logical gates of a CSS code or circuit are exactly the kernel of a pullback map on phase functions, and that kernel can be computed in cubic time.

    quant-ph 2026-02 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    No stabilizer code can implement the full logical Clifford group on multiple logical qubits using transversal gates, fold-transversal gates beyond two qubits, or code automorphisms.

  5. Sequences of Bivariate Bicycle Codes from Covering Graphs

    quant-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bivariate bicycle quantum codes form infinite families via graph covers: the [[144,12,12]] gross code is a double cover of [[72,12,6]], with logical-operator lifting and parameter bounds.

    New minimum-distance bounds for generalized bicycle codes are used to construct two degree-4 check families, [[d^2+1,2,d]] and [[d^2,2,d]], with surface-code-comparable simulated thresholds and a logical CNOT via relabeling.

    cs.CL 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Parity-aware BPE, which prioritizes the worst-compressed language at each merge, cuts cross-lingual tokenization inequality by up to 89% at negligible global cost.
