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 ...

Quantum error‐correcting codes (QECCs) have emerged as a crucial instrument in the quest to realise reliable quantum information processing. These codes utilise sophisticated mathematical frameworks ...

Many types of error-correcting techniques exist, but in data communications, Hamming encoding probably finds the widest use. Unlike serial-port communications that use a single parity bit, Hamming ...

Universal fault-tolerant quantum computing relies on the implementation of quantum error correction. An essential milestone is the achievement of error-corrected ...

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 ...

While noise can show up anywhere, ECC also can correct deterministic errors, such as those caused by faulty cells. This makes it possible to develop a design and test strategy that leverages some of ...

The increase in bandwidth is driving more innovations in the Ethernet physical layer technology to combat numerous challenges like channel loss, inter-symbol ...

The same codes needed to thwart errors in quantum computers may also give the fabric of space-time its intrinsic robustness. Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist ...

Quantum bits are fussy and fragile. Useful quantum computers will need to use an error-correction technique like the one that was recently demonstrated on a real machine. In 1994, Peter Shor, a ...
