5 years ago I spent most of the year on outreach, running a citizen science project based on quantum error correction.

Seems like a good time to remaster the blog posts I wrote to explain QEC to anyone who'd listen. So here, rather predictably, is part 1

Now part 2 of my remastered blog posts on quantum error correction.

2016 me was happy with a '0 and 1 at the same time' style explanation of superposition. 2021 me doesn't like that at all. So this once required the typing of actual words!

I forgot all about this for 6 months, but now I'm back. Here's part 3 of my remastered QEC tutorial, which is pretty much the same as the 2016 version. https://decodoku.medium.com/3-finding-errors-without-looking-ec1943909bd

We'll leave it here for the remastering. If you want to read more, check out the original blog to see how the toric code is host to exotic particles, as well as other codes and more... https://decodoku.blogspot.com/2016/06/11-anyons.html
