a quantum error-correcting code on a two-dimensional lattice of qubits with only nearest-neighbor checks and a high error threshold.

In quantum computing, surface code refers to a quantum error-correcting code on a two-dimensional lattice of qubits with only nearest-neighbor checks and a high error threshold. This meaning comes from Fowler (2012) in Physical Review A.[1]
