Are transversal entangling gates possible for stabilizer codes other than CSS?
It is well known that CSS codes can have lots of transversal entangling gates. For example, $ CNOT $ is exactly transversal on 2 blocks of any $ [[n,1,d]] $ CSS code. And https://arxiv.org/abs/1304....

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 are logical operators performed and measured on the surface code, in a defect-free way?
I am reading about the surface code and I am still not sure how to perform and measure logical operators, such as $X_L$ or $Z_L$, without creating defects. Suppose I stabilise my qubit array into a ...
