The Quantum Bottleneck: Resource Overhead and Distillation Requirements for $T$ States in Surface Code FTQC
This article provides a rigorous, highly technical overview of magic state distillation under the 15-to-1 Bravyi-Kitaev protocol, analyzing the trade-offs between physical error rates and the massive physical qubit overheads in fault-tolerant quantum architectures. It includes a validated Python model that simulates multi-level distillation cascades to estimate the total physical qubit footprint required for target logical error rates.
