We demonstrate a quantum error correction scheme that protects against accidental measurement, using a parity encoding where the logical state of a single qubit is encoded into two physical qubits using a nondeterministic photonic controlled-NOT gate. For the single qubit input states vertical bar 0>, vertical bar 1>, vertical bar 0>{+-} vertical bar 1>, and vertical bar 0>{+-}i vertical bar 1> our encoder produces the appropriate two-qubit encoded state with an average fidelity of 0.88{+-}0.03 and the single qubit decoded states have an average fidelity of 0.93{+-}0.05 with the original state. We are able to decode the two-qubit state (up to a bit flip) by performing a measurement on one of the qubits in the logical basis; we find that the 64 one-qubit decoded states arising from 16 real and imaginary single-qubit superposition inputs have an average fidelity of 0.96{+-}0.03.
