The probability for a spin flip due to decoherence increases with the number of physical qubits (quadratically with N) (red). The information loss per physical qubit decreases with N (blue) and compensates the increased spin flips such that the total error scales linearly (dashed). The number of possible readout sequences (inset) exponentially increases with N.
