Abstract
We demonstrate that quantum error correction is realized by the renormalization group in scalar field theories. We construct $q$-level states by using coherent states in the IR region. By acting on them the inverse of the unitary operator $U$ that describes the renormalization group flow of the ground state, we encode them into states in the UV region. We find the situations in which the Knill-Laflamme condition is satisfied for operators that create coherent states. We verify this to the first order in the perturbation theory. This result suggests a general relationship between the renormalization group and quantum error correction and should give insights into understanding the role played by them in the gauge/gravity correspondence.
