Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magic state generation apparatus includes first encoder, state distiller, second encoder, and error detector. The first encoder encodes a magic state of a physical quantum bit into a level-1 encoded magic state. The state distiller receives n level-L encoded magic states, performs error detection when reading a level-L encoded quantum bit, performs post-selection which accepts the encoded quantum bit only when no error is detected, and outputs k level-L encoded magic states each having a low error probability (1?L?M?1, and k<n). The second encoder encodes a level-L into a level-(L+1) encoded magic states. The error detector performs error detection on the level-(L+1) encoded magic state, and obtains a level-(L+1) encoded magic state from which an error is removed.

The calculation unit calculates probabilities for measurement values of an encoded Bell measurement by using the first measurement values, the second measurement values, and the error probabilities. The decision unit decides measurement values of the encoded Bell measurement, based on the calculated probabilities.
