Everything about Steane code
Code for quantum correction
The Steane code is a tool in quantum error correction introduced by Andrew Steane in 1996. It is a CSS code (Calderbank-Shor-Steane), using the classical binary [7,4,3] Hamming code to correct for both qubit flip errors and phase flip errors. The Steane code encodes one logical qubit in 7 physical qubits and is able to correct arbitrary single qubit errors. Wikipedia →
