    Ever wondered how quantum computers can keep going when qubits are so fragile? This hands-on tutorial takes you on a journey from classical intuition to quantum protection.

    Start with familiar ground to understand the basics of error correction. Then dive into the quantum world with a two-qubit stabilizer code, where you’ll explore mind-bending concepts like measuring without destroying and catching errors without looking. Finally, see it all come to life with a walkthrough of the Surface-17 code using Qiskit, showing how quantum information can survive—even when everything around it is noisy.
