Surface Code Quantum Error Correction/Evidence

Surface Code Quantum Error Correction

Surface Code is a two-dimensional topological quantum error-correcting code that protects quantum information through geometric redundancy. Introduced by Alexei Kitaev in 2003, surface code is considered the leading candidate for large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing due to its high error thresholds and feasibility on two-dimensional qubit arrays.
