As there is no quantum error correction code with universal set of transversal gates, several approaches have been proposed which, in combination of transversal gates, make universal fault-tolerant quantum computation possible. Magic state distillation, code switching, code concatenation and pieceable fault-tolerance are well-known examples of such approaches. However, the overhead of these approaches is one of the main bottlenecks for large-scale quantum computation. In this paper, a hybrid approach is proposed which combines the code concatenation technique with the other mentioned approaches. The proposed approach outperforms code concatenation in terms of both number of qubits and error threshold and also significantly reduces the resource overhead of code switching, magic state distillation and pieceable fault-tolerance at the cost of reducing the effective distance of the concatenated code for implementing non-transversal gates.

This volume contains the proceedings of the ninth workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL2012) which took place in Brussels from the 10th to the 12th of October 2012. QPL2012 brought together researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, and spatio-temporal causal structures. The particular focus was on the use of logical tools, ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages, semantical techniques, and other computer science methods for the study of physical behaviour in general.
