We introduce a twisted fiber-bundle construction of quantum CSS codes over group algebras \(R=\mathbb F_2[G]\), where each base generator carries a generator-dependent \(R\)-linear fiber twist satisfying a flatness condition. This construction extends the untwisted lifted product code, recovered when all twists are identities. We show that invertible twists (satisfying a flatness condition) give a complex chain-isomorphic to the untwisted one, so the resulting binary CSS codes have the same blocklength \(n\) and encoded dimension \(k\). In contrast, singular chain-compatible twists can lower boundary ranks and increase the number of logical qubits. Examples over \(R=\mathbb F_2[D_3]\) show that the twisted fiber bundle code can outperform the corresponding untwisted lifted-product code in \(k\) while keeping the same \(n\) and, in our examples, the same minimum distance \(d\).

Ancilla reuse in repeated syndrome extraction couples reset quality to logical-cycle latency. We evaluate blind reset -- unitary-only recycling via scaled sequence replay -- on IQM Garnet, Rigetti Ankaa-3, and IonQ under matched seeds, sequence lengths, and shot budgets. Using ancilla cleanliness F_clean=P(|0>), per-cycle latency, and a distance-3 repetition-code logical-error proxy, platform-calibrated simulation identifies candidate regions where blind reset cuts cycle latency by up to 38x under NVQLink-class feedback overhead while maintaining F_clean >= 0.86 for L <= 6. Hardware experiments on IQM Garnet confirm blind-reset cleanliness >= 0.84 at L=8 (1024 shots, seed 42); platform-calibrated simulation for Rigetti Ankaa-3 predicts comparable performance. Architecture-dependent crossover lengths are L* ~ 12 (IQM), ~ 11 (Rigetti), ~ 1 (IonQ), and ~ 78 with GPU-linked external feedback. Two added analyses tighten deployment boundaries: a T1/T2 sensitivity map identifies coherence-ratio regimes, and error-bound validation confirms measured cleanliness remains consistent with the predicted diagnostic envelope. A deployment decision matrix translates these results into backend-specific policy selection.
