Everything about Shor code
Code used in quantum error correction
In quantum computing, the Shor code or Shor nine qubit code is a foundational code in quantum error correction that protects quantum information against decoherence and operational errors. It was the first quantum error correcting code, introduced by Peter Shor in 1995. It encodes a single logical qubit into a system of nine physical qubits, allowing simultaneous correction of both bit-flip, phase-flip or a joint phase and bit flip errors on any single physical qubit. As the first quantum error-correcting code to demonstrate fault tolerant quantum computing in principle, the Shor code marked a critical step toward the development of reliable quantum computing systems.
