We compute the error threshold of color codes, a class of topological quantum codes that allow a direct implementation of quantum Clifford gates, when both qubit and measurement errors are present. By mapping the problem onto a statistical-mechanical three-dimensional disordered Ising lattice gauge theory, we estimate via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations that color codes are stable against 4.5(2)% errors. Furthermore, by evaluating the skewness of the Wilson loop distributions, we introduce a very sensitive probe to locate first-order phase transitions in lattice gauge theories.

Rigorous estimation of error thresholds of transversal Clifford logical circuits
Generalizes stat-mech mapping from toric code memories to transversal Clifford circuits, mapping tCNOT to random Ashkin-Teller and 4-body Ising models and estimating reduced thresholds of p=0.080 and p>=0.028.
