Implementation of five qubit code using Qiskit.

Five qubit code

This repository contains my implementation of the (non-fault tolerant) Five-qubit error correcting code using Qiskit package for Python.

This python program is useful to check that the five-qubit code indeed produces non-degenerate outcomes from the syndrome measurements.

The quantum circuit

The quantum circuit of the five-qubit code is shown below.

How to run?

Go to the corresponding path then from your commandline, run:

    py main.py
