Abstract
We introduce a design a design for a quantum memory stick that uses active quantum error correction to coherently store a qubit of encoded information for months or years. This device is based on the model of topological error correction and can increase the storage time of a qubit of information by 10-11 orders of magnitude with a physical qubit overhead of several hundreds.
