There are some obvious big picture issues that stand between us and useful quantum computing. Issues like whether we can make ...

Error-correcting codes form the cornerstone of reliable modern communications, ensuring that digital information survives noise, interference and channel imperfections. Building on Shannon’s channel ...

Error-correcting codes defined over finite fields form the cornerstone of reliable digital communication and data storage. Such codes exploit the algebraic structure of finite fields—denoted GF(q)—to ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki Ph.D.) and the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech, President ...

IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, has developed a novel quantum error-correcting ...

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 ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

When running a server, especially one with mission-critical applications, it’s common practice to use error-correcting code (ECC) memory. As the name suggests, it uses an error-correcting algorithm to ...
