quantum computers are inherently noisy, quantum error correcting codes are used to correct errors that affect information due to <a href="/wiki/Decoherence" class="mw-redirect" title="Decoherence">decoherence</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dissipation" title="Dissipation">dissipation</a>. Decoding error corrected data in order to perform gates on the qubits makes it prone to errors. Fault tolerant quantum computation avoids this by performing gates on encoded data. Transversal gates, which perform a gate between two <a href="/wiki/Physical_and_logical_qubits" title="Physical and logical qubits">logical qubits</a> each of which is encoded in <i>N</i> <a href="/wiki/Physical_and_logical_qubits" title="Physical and logical qubits">physical qubits</a> by pairing up the physical qubits of each encoded qubit ("code block"), and performing independent gates on each pair, can be used to perform fault tolerant but not universal quantum computation because they guarantee that errors don't spread uncontrollably through the computation. This is because transversal gates ensure that each qubit in a code block is acted on by at most a single physical gate and each code block is corrected independently when an error occurs. </p><p>The Eastin–Knill theorem implies that a universal set like <span class="texhtml">{<i><a href="/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate#Hadamard_gate" title="Quantum logic gate">H</a>, <a href="/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate#Phase_shift" title="Quantum logic gate">S</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/CNOT" class="mw-redirect" title="CNOT">CNOT</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate#Phase_shift" title="Quantum logic gate">T</a></i> </span>} gates can't be implemented transversally.
