Abstract

We introduce twisted unitary t-groups, a generalization of unitary t-groups under a twisting by an irreducible representation. We then apply representation theoretic methods to the Knill-Laflamme error correction conditions to show that twisted unitary t-groups automatically correspond to quantum codes with distance d=t+1. By construction these codes have many transversal gates, which naturally do not spread errors and thus are useful for fault tolerance.
