Motivated by limitations and capabilities of neutral atom qubits, we examine whether measurement-free error correction can produce practical error thresholds. We show that this can be achieved by extracting redundant syndrome information, giving our procedure extra fault tolerance and eliminating the need for ancilla verification. The procedure is particularly favorable when multi-qubit gates are available for the correction step. Simulations of the bit-flip, Bacon-Shor, and Steane codes indicate that coherent error correction can produce threshold error rates that are on the order of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$---comparable with or better than measurement-based values, and much better than previous results for other coherent error correction schemes. This indicates that coherent error correction is worthy of serious consideration for achieving protected logical qubits.

We consider a star-network of $n=n_0+n_p$ spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles, where interaction between $n_0$ central spins and $n_p$ peripheral spins are of the XYZ-type. In the limit $n_0/n_p\ll 1$, we show that for odd $n$, the ground state is doubly degenerate, while for even $n$, the energy gap becomes negligible when $n$ is large, inducing an \emph{effective} double degeneracy. In the same limit, we show that for vanishing $xy$-anisotropy $γ$, bipartite entanglement on the peripheral spins computed using either a partial trace-based, or a measurement-based approach exhibits a logarithmic growth with $n_p$, where the sizes of the partitions are typically $\sim n_p/2$. This feature disappears for $γ\neq 0$, which we refer to as the \emph{anisotropy effect}. Interestingly, when the system is taken out of equilibrium by the introduction of a magnetic field of constant strength on all spins, the time-averaged bipartite entanglement on the periphery at the long-time limit exhibits a logarithmic growth with $n_p$ irrespective of the value of $γ$. We further study the $n_0/n_p\gg 1$ and $n_0/n_p\rightarrow 1$ limits of the model, and show that the behaviour of bipartite peripheral entanglement is qualitatively different from that of the $n_0/n_p\ll 1$ limit.
