Transversal Gates and Magic State Distillation in an Optimally Synthesized Spin-Qubit Shuttling Bus
Abstract
Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires not only reliable logical qubit storage, but also the ability to perform high-fidelity logical operations between error-corrected qubits at scale. While much of the existing literature focuses on optimizing syndrome extraction for a single logical qubit, the co-design of physical architectures that support both robust error correction and efficient logical computation remains an open challenge.

Description / Details
Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires not only reliable logical qubit storage, but also the ability to perform high-fidelity logical operations between error-corrected qubits at scale. While much of the existing literature focuses on optimizing syndrome extraction for a single logical qubit, the co-design of physical architectures that support both robust error correction and efficient logical computation remains an open challenge. In this work, we propose a multi-qubit spin-qubit shuttling bus architecture that addresses both requirements simultaneously. The architecture optimizes the physical qubit layout for syndrome extraction and supports transversal two-qubit logical gates between an arbitrary number of logical qubits, achieving all-to-all logical connectivity through coherent spin shuttling. We further propose an ancilla-sharing scheme that encodes multiple logical qubits within a single logical element, compressing the physical footprint of the processor and improving long-range gate fidelity. Extending the architecture from a one-dimensional bus to a two-dimensional grid of shuttling tracks reduces the inter-qubit distance, yielding consistent improvements in logical error. Finally, we apply the Quantum Reverse Mapping methodology at the logical level to optimize the layout of a \textit{15-to-1} magic state distillation circuit, demonstrating how the transversal capabilities of the proposed architecture can be leveraged for universal fault-tolerant computation. Taken together, these results establish a principled co-design framework that bridges the physical, error-correction, and logical computation layers of the quantum stack, and demonstrate that spin-qubit shuttling architectures are a viable and flexible substrate for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation.
