The Shor Code is an error correction technique used to protect a quantum computer against single qubit errors. Published in by Peter Shor it is the first example of a quantum error correcting code. Due to the No-cloning theorem classical error correction, which relies on duplicating classical information, could not be applied. This limitation was overcome with the Shor code.
The code
We map the basis states , as follows
