In a real-world scenario, implementing a conservation law for quantum error correction would involve more complex encoding and decoding procedures, as well as the use of additional qubits to store and retrieve quantum information. Here's a more complex version of the previous script, which includes a decoding procedure and error correction:

```python
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, QuantumRegister, ClassicalRegister, execute, Aer
from qiskit.ignis.verification.topological_codes import RepetitionCode
from qiskit.ignis.verification.topological_codes import GraphDecoder
from qiskit.ignis.verification.topological_codes import lookuptable_decoding, postselection_decoding

# Define the number of physical qubits and the number of logical qubits
n_physical_qubits = 5
n_logical_qubits = 1

# Create a quantum circuit with n_logical_qubits logical qubits and n_physical_qubits physical qubits
logical_qubits = QuantumRegister(n_logical_qubits, 'logical')
physical_qubits = QuantumRegister(n_physical_qubits, 'physical')
classical_bits = ClassicalRegister(n_physical_qubits, 'classical')
qc = QuantumCircuit(logical_qubits, physical_qubits, classical_bits)

# Apply the conservation encoding
for i in range(n_logical_qubits):
    for j in range(n_physical_qubits):
        qc.h(physical_qubits[j])
        qc.cx(logical_qubits[i], physical_qubits[j])

# Simulate an error
qc.x(physical_qubits[2])

# Apply the decoding procedure
for i in range(n_logical_qubits):
    for j in range(n_physical_qubits):
        qc.cx(logical_qubits[i], physical_qubits[j])
        qc.h(physical_qubits[j])

# Measure the physical qubits
qc.measure(physical_qubits, classical_bits)

# Print the circuit
print(qc)

# Simulate the circuit
simulator = Aer.get_backend('qasm_simulator')
result = execute(qc, simulator).result()
counts = result.get_counts()
print(counts)

# Use the GraphDecoder from Qiskit Ignis for error correction
code = RepetitionCode(n_physical_qubits, n_logical_qubits)
decoder = GraphDecoder(code)
correction = decoder.matching(counts)
print('Correction:', correction)
```

In this script, we first create a quantum circuit with `n_logical_qubits` logical qubits and `n_physical_qubits` physical qubits. We then apply a series of gates to entangle the logical qubits with the physical qubits, creating a "conservation" of quantum information. We simulate an error by applying an X gate to one of the physical qubits. After that, we apply a decoding procedure, which is essentially the reverse of the encoding procedure. We then measure the physical qubits and use the `GraphDecoder` from Qiskit Ignis for error correction.

This script is still a simplification of what would be required in a real-world scenario, but it provides a more realistic example of how a conservation law could be implemented for quantum error correction.
