Physical vs logical gates, transversal Cliffords on the surface code, the Eastin-Knill obstruction, and the 15-to-1 magic state protocol that makes T gates fault-tolerant.
Learn how quantum error correction works by implementing the 3-qubit bit-flip code in Qiskit - encode a logical qubit, introduce an error, detect it with syndrome measurement, and correct it.
Understand why Clifford+T is the universal fault-tolerant gate set, the cost of T gates in magic state distillation, and how to analyze T-count with PennyLane.
