We investigate the possibilities and limitations of passive Hamiltonian protection of a quantum memory against depolarizing noise. Without protection, the lifetime of a single qubit is independent of N, the number of qubits composing the memory. In the presence of a protecting Hamiltonian, the lifetime increases at most logarithmically with N. We construct an explicit time-independent Hamiltonian which saturates this bound, exploiting the noise itself to achieve the protection.
