The passage around this formula
…Peter Shor first introduced quantum error correction theoretically in 1995 [ 12 ] . The peer-reviewed paper behind that announcement reports the quantitative result precisely: logical error rate suppressed by a factor of = 2.14 0.02 for every increase of two in the error-correcting code’s distance, culminating in a 101-qubit distance-7 code achieving a logical error rate of 0.143\% 0.003\% per correction cycle [ 11 ] . This is a genuine scientific milestone — the first clear experimental…
