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 ...

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 ...

IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, today announced a significant achievement in ...

IQM Quantum Computers has developed a new quantum error-correcting code that it says can reduce logical error rates by up to 1,000 times compared with the widely used ...

Computers also make mistakes. These are usually suppressed by technical measures or detected and corrected during the calculation. In quantum computers, this involves some effort, as no copy can be ...

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 ...

These novel error-correction codes can handle quantum codes with hundreds of thousands of qubits, potentially enabling large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing, with applications in diverse fields ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
