Summary

The construction applies to every stabilizer code of distance at least two in a suitable logical basis.

The proposed mechanism releases one stabilizer check to expose an extra logical qubit, applies two Pauli rotations, and uses syndrome measurement plus Clifford feed-forward to implement a deterministic logical T gate. The authors give two single-fault-tolerant circuits: a fixed 22-qubit construction and a Golay-code gate. Serial implementations with ancilla reuse require at most 33 and 32 physical qubits, respectively. The result is a theoretical circuit construction, not a reported hardware demonstration.
