Quantum error correction (QEC) is a technique used to protect quantum information from errors that occur during computation and transmission. QEC is essential for building large-scale quantum computers that can perform complex calculations. When a quantum computer performs a calculation, the qubits in the computer can be affected by noise and errors from interactions with their environment. Errors can occur due to external influences, such as temperature fluctuations or electromagnetic interference, or from internal sources, such as decoherence or imperfect control over the quantum system.
