How are logical operators performed and measured on the surface code, in a defect-free way?

I am reading about the surface code and I am still not sure how to perform and measure logical operators, such as $X_L$ or $Z_L$, without creating defects. Suppose I stabilise my qubit array into a ...

Is there any difference between a quantum- and classically-controlled gate if I know my basis?

Consider an unrealistic 2-qubit plus 1 ancilla bit-flip error correction code (images generated by quirk), where I know by some means or other that an error may have happen on qubit0 (represented by ...

How does Teleportation based Error Correction (TEC) detect and correct loss/erasure errors?

I'm looking at papers like Demonstration of teleportation-based error correction in the IBM quantum computer (page) 10 and Role of syndrome information on a one-way quantum repeater using ...

The behaviour of ebits in Entanglement-assisted Quantum Error Correction Codes?

I am reading about Entanglement-assisted Quantum Error Correction Codes from Quantum Information Processing and Quantum Error Correction: An Engineering Approach (Chapter 9) . It is a scheme that ...
