Here, QuEra’s research team introduces a transversal STAR architecture for small-angle magic state generation with neutral atoms. They demonstrate that fault-tolerant simulations with over a million T-gates could be achieved with only ten thousand qubits at a physical error rate of 0.1%.

While this is usually achieved through magic state distillation or cultivation, certain resource states could potentially be synthesized more efficiently in a semi–fault-tolerant way, accelerating our ability to perform complex workflows in fields such as materials simulation.

Simulations show >100× cost reduction vs. leading approaches.
What once seemed to need millions of qubits may now work with ~10,000 physical qubits at ~0.1% error rates.

Why neutral atoms?
Their reconfigurable, long-range links let us run transversal operations across the whole code—no routing detours like in fixed layouts.
Hardware + architecture, co-designed.

How it works:
• Use operations error correction handles really well
• Generate small-angle magic states with simple procedures, where errors naturally shrink as the angle gets smaller
