Overhead and noise threshold of fault-tolerant quantum error correction

Quantum error correction (QEC) may allow a precision ≪10-6 per logical operation to be attained in quantum computers. In order for this to be possible, QEC must be applied in a fault tolerant manner, where the QEC process is constructed so that it removes more noise than it generates when it is itse...
