The signal to noise ratio of quantum sensing protocols scales with the square root of the coherence time. Thus, increasing this time is a key goal in the field. Dynamical decoupling has proven to be efficient in prolonging the coherence times for the benefit of quantum sensing. However, dynamical decoupling can only push the sensitivity up to a certain limit. In this work we present a new approach to increasing the coherence time further through error correction which can improve the efficiency of quantum sensing beyond the fundamental limits of current state of the art methods.
