Far more efficient quantum error-correcting codes are needed to cope with the ... just as a logical qubit in a quantum computer is reproducible from many different subsets of physical qubits.

The same codes needed to thwart errors in quantum computers may also give the fabric of space-time its intrinsic robustness. Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist ...
