Error correction of a logical qubit encoded in a single atomic ion

Nature.com·July 13, 2026

Quantum error correction typically encodes one logical qubit across many physical qubits to suppress noise. An experiment now encodes and corrects a qubit within the multiple internal states of a single trapped ion, reducing errors and extending the coherence time.
