A decoding time reduced from cubic to quasi-quadratic represents a major step towards practical quantum computation. These new quantum group codes, built upon existing algebraic geometry codes, achieve this speed-up, easing a key bottleneck in building larger, more dependable quantum processors. This improvement also lowers the computational cost of essential protocols like magic-state distillation by nearly a linear factor.
