| contents | With the advent of physical qubits exhibiting strong noise bias, it becomes increasingly relevant to identify which quantum gates can be efficiently implemented on error-correcting codes designed to address a single dominant error type. Here, we consider $[n,k,d]$-classical stabilizer codes addressing bit-flip errors where $n$, $k$ and $d$ are the numbers of physical and logical qubits, and the code distance respectively. We prove that operations essential for achieving a universal logical gate set necessarily require complex unitary circuits to be implemented. Specifically, these implementation circuits either consists of $h$ layers of $r$-transversal operations on $c$ codeblocks such that $c^{h-1}r^h \geq d$ or of $h$ gates, each operating on at most $r$ physical qubits on the same codeblock, such that $hr\geq d$. Similar constraints apply not only to classical codes designed to correct phase-flip errors, but also to quantum stabilizer codes tailored to biased noise. This motivates a closer examination of alternative logical gate constructions using eg.~magic state distillation and cultivation within the framework of biased-noise stabilizer codes. |
