It may seem inevitable that highly entangled quantum states are susceptible to disturbance through interaction with a decohering environment. However, certain multiqubit entangled states are well protected from common forms of decoherence as the quantum information is hidden in inherently nonlocal degrees of freedom. This review shows that this robustness is enabled by specific measurements on subsets of qubits, implementing a quantum version of an error correction process. Beginning with the basics, the latest understanding of the relation between this form of error correction and the concept of two-dimensional topological order in many-body physics is reviewed.
