contents Constructing an efficient and robust quantum memory is central to the challenge of engineering feasible quantum computer architectures. Quantum error correction codes can solve this problem in theory, but without careful design it can introduce daunting requirements that call for machines many orders of magnitude larger than what is available today. Bringing these requirements down can often be achieved by tailoring the codes to mitigate the specific forms of noise known to be present. Using a Quantinuum H1 quantum computer, we report on a robust quantum memory design using a concatenated code, with the low-level code designed to mitigate the dominant source of memory error, and a higher-level error correction scheme to enable robust computation. The resulting encoding scheme, known as a decoherence-free subspace quantum error correction code, is characterized for long probe times, and shown to extend the memory time by over an order of magnitude compared to physical qubits.
