Science
advancedQuantum error correction: from noisy qubits to logical qubits
Why quantum errors are uniquely hard, how stabilizer codes detect them without destroying the data, what the surface code and code distance mean, and why crossing the threshold turned error correction from theory into the field's central engineering race.

Science
advancedErrors, syndromes, and the surface code
Why classical error correction does not directly transfer to qubits, how stabilizer codes and syndrome measurement work around the no-cloning constraint, the surface code as the leading approach, and the math of physical-to-logical qubit overhead.
