Near-term FTQC system designs are constrained by limited error budgets and largely sequential execution of non-Clifford gates. As a result, reducing the number of the most-error prone instructions becomes critical for successful program execution. In this work, we study the extractor architecture, a recently proposed FTQC design that enables universal quantum computation on spatially-efficient QEC codes such as the BB code family. In these architectures, over $90\%$ of the total program error arises from the synthillation process, which involves $\lvert T\rangle$-state preparation and injection to implement non-Clifford gates. We observe that standard Rz synthillation requires multiple sequential $\lvert T\rangle$-state injections, each incurring an inter-module measurements, the most expensive instruction in the architecture, which cumulatively dominate the overall error budget. To address this bottleneck, we propose INJEQT, a $2$-factory design that uses an auxiliary code capable of synthesizing $Rz(θ)$ states with lower error rates. These states are then injected into the extractor modules using only a constant number of inter-module measurements. This approach reduces overall error rates by up to $22\times$. We further reduce the time overhead by a pre-fetching strategy that prepares the Rz states and their correction states in parallel. This approach improves the wall-clock time by up to $13\times$ and reduces the space-time cost by up to $7.2\times$, for an optimal choice of the number of INJEQT factories for each metric. We evaluate INJEQT for multiple state preparation techniques such as distillation, cultivation and STAR, and model the execution times for both lattice surgery-based and transversal CNOT based injections. Our results demonstrate that INJEQT is robust across factory choices and device technologies, enabling more efficient architectural designs for FTQC.

Concatenating bosonic error-correcting codes with qubit codes can substantially boost the error-correcting power of the original qubit codes. It is not clear how to concatenate optimally, given there are several bosonic codes and concatenation schemes to choose from, including the recently discovered GKP-stabilizer codes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 080503 (2020)}] that allow protection of a logical bosonic mode from fluctuations of the mode's conjugate variables. We develop efficient maximum-likelihood decoders for and analyze the performance of three different concatenations of codes taken from the following set: qubit stabilizer codes, analog/Gaussian stabilizer codes, GKP codes, and GKP-stabilizer codes. We benchmark decoder performance against additive Gaussian white noise, corroborating our numerics with analytical calculations. We observe that the concatenation involving GKP-stabilizer codes outperforms the more conventional concatenation of a qubit stabilizer code with a GKP code in some cases. We also propose a GKP-stabilizer code that suppresses fluctuations in both conjugate variables without extra quadrature squeezing, and formulate qudit versions of GKP-stabilizer codes.
