Could transistor logic make quantum computers more reliable?

Taking inspiration from classical computing's transistor, this work designs "telesistors" — quantum gates built from symmetry-protected topological states that inherently suppress certain errors, delivering high-fidelity Clifford operations passively. The physical protection is measurable via string order parameters and acts as a low-overhead base layer on top of which standard fault-tolerant codes can run. The appeal over conventional qubit circuits lies in modularity and program storage, with the authors arguing the hardware is within reach of near-term technology.
