摘要
A set of stabilizer operations augmented by some special initial states known as "magic states" gives the possibility of universal fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, magic state preparation inevitably involves nonideal operations that introduce noise. The most common method to eliminate the noise is magic state distillation (MSD) by stabilizer operations. Here we propose a hybrid MSD protocol by connecting a four-qubit H-type MSD with a five-qubit T-type MSD in order to overcome the shortcomings of the previous MSD protocols. The hybrid MSD protocol further integrates distillable ranges of different existing MSD protocols and provides considerable improvement in qubit cost. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate the four-qubit H-type MSD protocol using nuclear magnetic resonance technology, together with the previous five-qubit MSD experiment, to show the feasibility of the hybrid MSD protocol.
