We study efficient quantum error correction schemes for the fully correlated channel on an n-qubit system with error operators that assume the form σ ⊗nx , σ ⊗n y , σ ⊗n z . In particular, when n = 2k + 1 is odd, we describe a quantum error correction scheme using one arbitrary qubit σ to protect the data state ρ in the 2k-qubit system such that only 3k CNOT gates (each with one control bit and one target bit) are needed to encode the n-qubits. The inverse operation of the CNOT gates will produceσ ⊗ ρ, so a partial trace operation can recover ρ. When n = 2k + 2 is even, we describe a hybrid quantum error correction scheme that protects a 2k-qubit state ρ and 2 classical bits encoded as σ ∈ {|ij ij| : i, j ∈ {0, 1}}; the encoding can be done by 3k + 2 CNOT gates and a Hadamard gate on one qubit, and the inverse operation will be the decoding operation producing σ ⊗ ρ. The scheme was implemented using Matlab, Mathematica, Python, and the IBM's quantum computing framework qiskit.
