We introduce a morphing procedure that can be used to generate new quantum codes from existing quantum codes. In particular, we morph the 15-qubit Reed-Muller code to obtain a [[10,1,2]] code that is the smallest known stabilizer code with a fault-tolerant logical T gate. In addition, we construct a family of hybrid color-toric codes by morphing the color code. Our code family inherits the fault-tolerant gates of the original color code, implemented via constant-depth local unitaries. As a special case of this construction, we obtain toric codes with fault-tolerant multi-qubit control-Z gates. We also provide an efficient decoding algorithm for hybrid color-toric codes in two dimensions, and numerically benchmark its performance for phase-flip noise. We expect that morphing may also be a useful technique for modifying other code families such as triorthogonal codes.
