Magic state distillation is a technique used in quantum computing to produce "magic states," which are specific quantum states that enable universal quantum computation. These states are crucial for implementing certain quantum algorithms and error-correcting codes, as they allow for the realization of non-Clifford gates—gates that cannot be efficiently simulated by classical algorithms.
