Introduction to Quantum Error Correction

Last quarter, our team discovered that our quantum circuits were losing coherence at scale. We tried surface codes first, but that was a complete failure. Here's what we learned from that experience and how we eventually found success with Shor codes.

The Problem with Quantum Error Correction

Quantum error correction is essential for large-scale quantum computing. However, most documentation skips the hard part: implementing and optimizing these codes for real-world applications. When I first tried to implement surface codes, it broke because I didn't account for the complex interplay between qubits.
