If decoherence is the great enemy of quantum information, then quantum error correction (QEC) is humanity’s best weapon to fight back. Classical computers use error correction constantly—from parity checks in memory to redundancy in communication channels. But quantum error correction is far trickier: we can’t simply copy qubits (the no-cloning theorem forbids it), and we… Read more: 🎓 Quantum 101 Corner: Understanding Quantum Error Correction
