The AND gate is not reversible$\unicode{x2014}$on qubits. However, it is reversible on qutrits, making it a building block for efficient simulation of qubit computation using qutrits. We first observe that there are multiple two-qutrit Clifford+T unitaries that realize the AND gate with T-count 3, and its generalizations to $n$ qubits with T-count $3n-3$. Our main result is the construction of a novel qutrit $\mathopen{[\![} 6,2,2 \mathclose{]\!]}$ quantum error-correcting code with a transversal implementation of the AND gate. The key insight in our approach is that a symmetric T-depth one circuit decomposition$\unicode{x2014}$composed of a CX circuit, T and T dagger gates, followed by the CX circuit in reverse$\unicode{x2014}$of a given unitary can be interpreted as a CSS code. We can increase the code distance by augmenting the code circuit with additional stabilizers while preserving the logical gate. This results in a code with a "built-in" transversal implementation of the original unitary, which can be further concatenated to attain a $\mathopen{[\![} 48,2,4 \mathclose{]\!]}$ code with the same transversal logical gate. Furthermore, we present several protocols for mixed qubit-qutrit codes which we call Qubit Subspace Codes, and for magic state distillation and injection.

We revisit the applications of integral geometry in AdS$_3$ and argue that the metric of the kinematic space can be realized as the entanglement contour, which is defined as the additive entanglement density. From the renormalization of the entanglement contour, we can holographically understand the operations of disentangler and isometry in multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz. Furthermore, a renormalization group equation of the long-distance entanglement contour is then derived. We then generalize this integral geometric construction to higher dimensions and in particular demonstrate how it works in bulk space of homogeneity and isotropy.
