Compilation of fault-tolerant quantum circuits is thus inherently different from the non-fault-tolerant case. However, automated fault-tolerant compilation methods are widely underexplored, and most known constructions are obtained manually for specific codes only. In this work, we focus on the problem of automatically synthesizing fault-tolerant circuits for the deterministic initialization of an encoded state for a broad class of quantum codes that are realizable on current and near-term hardware. To this end, we utilize methods based on techniques from classical circuit design, such as satisfiability solving, resulting in tools for the synthesis of (optimal) fault-tolerant state preparation circuits for near-term quantum codes. We demonstrate the correct fault-tolerant behavior of the synthesized circuits using circuit-level noise simulations.
