Abstract: We propose a quantum error correction without error detection. A quantum state $ρ_0$ combined with an ancilla state $σ$ is encoded unitarily and an error operator is applied on the encoded state. The recovery operation then produces a tensor product state $ρ_0 \otimes σ'$. The decoding operation is combined with the recovery operation and the state $ρ_0$ is directly reproduced without referring to the code word. A higher rank projection operator required for a conventional operator quantum error correction is not necessary to implement. Encoding and the recovery operations are implemented with unitary operators only, which makes quantum error correction much easier than any other proposals.
