Scalable quantum technologies require the ability to maintain and manipulate coherent quantum states over an arbitrarily long period of time. It is problematic then that the small quantum systems that ...

Many error-correcting codes (ECCs) are proposed in the industry’s literature for correcting bit errors present in the received data. We will discuss Hamming codes that are used to correct singlebit ...

Last month I showed how coding and error correction allows next-generation broadcast technologies such as DVB-T2 and DVB-NGH to achieve performance very close to the ...

Surface code: illustration of how error correction works for bit and phase flips. The measure qubits on light blue backgrounds check for phase flip errors while the ...

Following up on Microsoft’s announcement of a qubit based on completely new physics, Amazon is publishing a paper describing a very different take on quantum computing hardware. The system mixes two ...

Researchers at Google Quantum AI and collaborators have developed a quantum processor with error rates that get progressively smaller as the number of quantum bits ...

Carbon code is different, says Svore. “We do not consider the Carbon code to be an LDPC code,” she says. Technically, Carbon code is a stabilizer code of the Calderbank-Shor-Steane variety, which is a ...

“Quantinuum’s trapped-ion quantum computing roadmap is designed around continuous upgrades, enabled our flexible architecture and our precision control capabilities. This combination provides for ...

If you’ve ever sent a text message, played a CD, or stored a file in the cloud, you’ve benefited from error correction. This revolutionary idea dates back to the ...

For the uninitiated, low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is an error correction code (ECC) that is used to both detect and correct errors on data that is transmitted ...
