A way to induce quantum stability Dynamical systems, whether classical or quantum, usually require a method stabilize performance and maintain the required state. For instance, communication between computers requires error correction codes ensure that information is transferred correctly. In system, however, very act of measuring it can perturb it. Leghtas et al. show engineering interaction system its environment for delicate states, process could simplify processing. Science , this issue p. 853
