In previous literature, a recursive quantum error correction scheme can be used to protect $k$ qubits using $(k+1)$-qubit ancilla. We implement this scheme on 3-qubit and 5-qubit channels using the IBM quantum computers, where we uncover an error in the previous paper related to the decomposition of the encoding/decoding operator into elementary quantum gates. Here, we present a modified encoding/decoding operator that can be efficiently decomposed into (a) standard gates available in the \\texttt{qiskit} library and (b) basic gates comprised of single-qubit gates and CNOT gates. Since IBM quantum computers perform relatively better with fewer basic gates, a more efficient decomposition gives more accurate results. Our experiments highlight the importance of an efficient decomposition for the encoding/decoding operators and demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed schemes in correcting quantum errors. Furthermore, we explore a special type of channel with error operators of the form $\\sigma_x^{\\otimes n}, \\sigma_y^{\\otimes n}$ and $\\sigma_z^{\\otimes n}$, where $\\sigma_x, \\sigma_y, \\sigma_z$ are the Pauli matrices. For these channels, we implement a hybrid quantum error correction scheme that protects both quantum and classical information using IBM's quantum computers. We conduct experiments for $n = 3, 4, 5$ and show significant improvements compared to recent work.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.12408v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.12408v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"quantum-error-correction-scheme-for-fully","repo_url":"https://github.com/dcpelejo/qecc","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
