The Supplementary Information of this Article contains errors. The physical-qubit interchanges are unnecessary in Figures S9 and S10. The correct Figures S9 and S10 appear below as Figures 1and 2 respectively. In addition the figure legends of S9 and S10 should not contain the sentence “The qubit interchanges after the Hadamard gates come from the definition of the encoded Hadamard gate (see Fig. S1a)”. Corresponding to this correction, in both the hard- and soft-decision decoding algorithms, the definition of the logical X gate, instead of the logical Z gate, is used for {mzj: j = 1, 2, …, 12}.


In addition the equations for the relative probabilities for R1(1)(dx1, dx2, dz1, dz2) and R(2)(d’x1, d’x2, d’z1, d’z2) in Section IIIC (“Soft-decision decoding algorithm”) contain errors.
In R1(1)(dx1, dx2, dz1, dz2):

And in R(2)(d’x1, d’x2, d’z1, d’z2):

should read
