Graph states have been used for quantum error correction by Schlingemann et al. [Physical Review A 65.1 (2001): 012308]. Hypergraph states [Physical Review A 87.2 (2013): 022311] are generalizations of graph states and they have been used in quantum algorithms. We for the first time demonstrate how hypergraph states can be used for quantum error correction. We also point out that they are more efficient than graph states in the sense that to correct equal number of errors on the same graph topology, suitably defined hypergraph states require less number of gate operations than the corresponding graph states.
