Abstract: We achieve nontrivial transversal logical multi-controlled-$Z$ gates with asymptotically optimal parameters simultaneously on quantum low-density parity check codes and quantum locally testable codes, by applying the gate framework of [arXiv:2604.01874] to the recent good qLTC construction of [arXiv:2609.20780]. To this end, we use the covering space method to construct a nonzero cup product pairing on a finite arithmetic cubical complex. This differs from the previous construction of almost-good codes, whose base space is a hypergraph product. We express the pairing as a coefficient in a product of Moore determinants and prove polynomial nonvanishing by a bipartite multigraph specialization. We then construct covering spaces to obtain an asymptotic family of good qLTCs on which the pulled-back pairing induces the desired nontrivial transversal logical action.
