 Any single-qubit error can be decomposed as a linear combination of the four Pauli operators $\{I, X, Y, Z\}$, so it suffices to detect and correct only bit-flip ($X$), phase-flip ($Z$), and combined ($Y$) errors. The [[list-of-quantum-error-correction-codes|quantum error correction codes]] that do this rely on measuring error syndromes — multi-qubit observables that reveal which error occurred without revealing the logical state. The threshold theorem states that if the physical error rate is below a code-dependent threshold, arbitrarily long computations are possible by concatenating or tiling error-correcting codes. Any single-qubit error can be decomposed as a linear combination of the four Pauli operators $\{I, X, Y, Z\}$, so it suffices to detect and correct only bit-flip ($X$), phase-flip ($Z$), and combined ($Y$) errors.
