One of the challenges of building a quantum computer is the question of
information storage. This is typically done by utilizing redundancy,
similar to how classical hard drives store information in many-body
magnetic systems, quantum memories would store quantum information in
several qubits instead of a single one. However, while classical magnetic
systems tend to be self-correcting, i.e., their state does not need to be
continuously monitored to preserve the information stored there, most
quantum memories don't have such a self-correcting property.

In this work I will review quantum many-body systems that are candidates
for self-correction. I will present a result of my PhD work, with which it
is possible to determine the self-correcting properties of a large group of
many-body systems (qudit codes).
