X and Z stabilizers continuously check parity, catching errors before they corrupt. Lattice surgery merges patches by adding intermediate qubits and extending stabilizers, then splits them into entangled logical qubits — all while maintaining error correction. Based on ETH Zurich's February 2026 demonstration: the first lattice surgery on superconducting qubits, measuring stabilizers every 1.66 microseconds without pausing protection to compute.","shortDescription":"Error correction that never stops"}}
