In their new tech­nique, the researchers manip­u­late the state of a star’s light from the two tele­scopes so that it is in a form that is pro­tect­ed from envi­ron­men­tal noise. By then car­ry­ing out spe­cif­ic mea­sure­ments, any errors in the qubits can be detect­ed and cor­rect­ed by the QEC codes before recov­er­ing the infor­ma­tion con­tained in the starlight. This infor­ma­tion is then used to con­struct an image of the star.
