We show that multidimensional Zeno effect allows one to efficiently protect quantum systems from coherence loss by a method similar to classical coding. Contrary to the conventional approach, our method is applicable to arbitrary error-induced Hamiltonians and general quantum systems. We propose algorithms for finding the coherence-protecting codes along with a method of practical encoding by non-holonomic control. Two new single-error–correcting codes are constructed that surpass the bounds valid for classical quantum codes.
