- Topological quantum error-correcting codes (QECC) encode a variety of topological invariants in their code space. A classic structure that has not been encoded directly is that of obstruction classes of a fiber bundle, such as the Chern or Euler class. Here, we construct and analyze extensions of toric codes. We then analyze the topological structure of their errors and finally construct a novel code using these errors to encode the obstruction class to a fiber bundle. In so doing, we construct an encoding of characteristic classes such as the Chern and Pontryagin class in topological QECC. An example of the Euler class of $S^2$ is constructed explicitly.
