Quantum error correction is usually implemented via an active schedule of discrete error syndrome
measurements and adaptive recovery operations which are hardware intensive and prone to
introducing and propagating errors. In this talk, we will discuss our recent series of experiments
tailoring continuous dissipative processes in superconducting circuit QED to implement autonomous
error correction for qubits encoded in bosonic cavity states. We will focus on two generations of
experiments realizing the Parity Recovery by Selective Photon Addition (PReSPA) operator, which
stabilizes the photon number parity, hence correcting for the dominant single-photon loss errors in the
4-component cat code and the binomial code. We will also discuss our ongoing effort towards
dissipative stabilization of multi-mode bosonic qubits.
