Abstract

We prove that the smallest distance 3 Quantum Error Correcting Code with a transversal gate outside the Clifford group is the well-known 15-qubit Reed-Muller code, also known as a tri-orthogonal code. Our result relies on fewer assumptions than previous works. We further extend this result by finding the minimal code that also possesses any other non Clifford transversal single-qubit gate.
