Researchers design a molecule to implement a quantum error correction code

One of the challenges in implementing quantum computing is the protection of quantum states that code the information of errors caused by their interaction with the environment. A solution consists on introducing error protection codes. Scientists designed a molecule that can host an algorithm of this kind. The molecule is formed by erbium and cerium atoms.
