The five-qubit error-correcting code, also known as the "perfect code," is a quantum error correction code that can correct arbitrary errors on a single qubit within a five-qubit quantum state. It is a fundamental example of how quantum information can be protected from decoherence and other types of noise that can occur in quantum systems.
