  "abstract": "Non-Abelian quantum codes connect quantum error correction, phases of matter, and computational resources. In this work, we develop a general framework for constructing non-Abelian quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes by gauging sheaf codes via cup products and use it to establish code families with constant encoding rate and linear distance, simultaneously achieving optimal asymptotic scaling in both parameters. In particular, we characterize explicit logical representatives of the full gauged code space, and provide a fundamental treatment of non-Abelian code distance in the sense of Knill--Laflamme based on combining expansion with cleaning to establish protection against arbitrary errors. We further construct an almost-good family with entire code spaces exhibiting long-range magic. Moreover, we use linearly addressable cup product to directly generate linearly many encoded magic states from gauging measurements of Clifford operators. These results extend good qLDPC codes beyond the Pauli stabilizer setting, lay the foundation for pursuing the no low-energy trivial magic conjecture and shed light on non-Abelian quantum phases and orders beyond geometric locality.",
