In this tutorial, I will start with the basic notion of error correction in the classical domain. I will then establish the connection between classical coding theory and the quantum coding theory. This connection yields the famous CSS construction of quantum error-correcting codes. Finally, I will introduce the more general quantum stabilizer formalism.
