Controlled gates are key components in various quantum algorithms. Improving on the prior work of Gosset et al., we show that, for an allowed error $\varepsilon$, $3\log_2(1/\varepsilon) + o(\log(1/\varepsilon))$ $T$ gates are sufficient to approximate most multi-qubit controlled SU(2)s. We also show that this T-count matches the lower bound when the use of an almost controlled gate is prohibited. As an application, general controlled gate synthesis and efficient SU(4) gate synthesis are given.

Window decoding, first proposed to reduce decoding complexity for real-time decoding, is an essential component to realize scalable, universal-fault tolerant computation. Prior work has focused on improving throughput through parallelization and reducing reaction time via speculation on window boundaries. However, these methods use a fixed window size d, paying a fixed decoding time overhead for each window. In practice, we find this overhead of a fixed window size unnecessary in many cases due to the sparsity of average-case errors in QEC. Leveraging this insight, in this paper we propose an adaptive window decoding technique based on decoder confidence. This technique reduces the overhead in decoding time thus reducing reaction time without compromising on logical error rates. We benchmark adaptive window decoding across different codes and hardware inspired noise models. Our results show that this adaptive technique reaches the target error rate while maintaining a low decoding time overhead across different codes, and under different noise models.
