In the text there, they discuss that "it reduces the code distance by 1", so they stick to the intra-SE implementation for performance reason. It does not jump at me why exactly.

arxiv.org/abs/2606.13521 claims a "new S gate in the rotated surface code". To me the protocol is quite the same as the one described in Ismail et al. 2025 arxiv.org/abs/2509.18294, see Fig. 12 !

The forward-looking Oratomic time-efficient architecture claims to "potentially enable runtimes of 10 days for ECC–256 with ≈26,000 qubits, and 97 days for RSA–2048 with ≈102,000." This is based on stitching together several gadgets and plausibly assuming they can work together on an atom platform.

I have yet to read it in details, but as I get it Appendix A outlines how to give a proof that « I know how to break dlog with this many qubit hours » without disclosing the actual technique. Now everyone can keep there little recipes while making substantiated warning claims.

As rightfully pointed out, this is not the common practices of the crypto communities. But one could argue there is commercial value in hiding their estimated distance to « Q-day and implementation details.

Yes, or arxiv.org/abs/2509.18294 which is a follow up . Both refer to "early fault-tolerant" concept in their abstract, but I concur that "partially" is more appropriate!

Louis Vignoli @lvignoli.eu · 19/01/2026
But I don’t think there is a well-defined, shared meaning. It’s a bit of a tote bag right now.

Louis Vignoli @lvignoli.eu · 19/01/2026
For example, rely on non-FT circuitry and post-select on it. This is done in the STAR architecture papers to perform small Z angle rotations in surface codes by “direct” non-FT initialization of magic states, through local rotations on the support of the logical operator.

Louis Vignoli @lvignoli.eu · 19/01/2026
Another possible meaning is you work with encoded qubits, but you are allowed to cut corners and rely on non-scalable techniques tailored to your workload, made available by the smallish circuits and the low code distances.

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Yeah, states get close through a noisy Clifford circuit, what else to expect? And after all an encoded qubit is like a qubit. Logical memory error rate will converges to 0.5, just slower.

Similar to me is: paper consumption kept growing when digital word processors appeared, as they eased the production of documents. Only recently local stagnation was observed, that we can attribute to the overall digitization of processes. chrislang.org/2008/02/05/t... Graphs in footnote [4]
