Google intends to continue focusing on keeping the error rate down with first and second order error-correction with a technique called surface code. Researchers believe this will allow for the development of quantum algorithms on actual hardware like the Bristlecone chip.
"Surface code" is the technical name for a specific error correction scheme which spreads quantum information across many qubits.

A live chimeric vaccine developed by Acambis Co., Cambridge, Mass., combines the long-established yellow fever vaccine with surface code proteins from WNV.
Key to this quantum error detection and correction system is a scheme developed by Fowler, called the surface code. It uses parity information -- the measurement of change from the original data (if any) -- as opposed to the duplication of the original information that is part of the process of error detection in classical computing.
