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 ...

A bosonic qubit developed by Nord Quantique. Made of aluminum, these cavities now contain two tiny "poles", each operating at a different frequency. These additional ...

In contrast to classical computers, which operate on bits that can only take the basic values 0 and 1, quantum computers operate on "qubits," which can assume any superposition of the computational ...

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 ...

The company says it has cracked the code for error correction and is building a modular machine in New York state. IBM announced detailed plans today to build an ...

Extended lifetime Quantum information is protected by encoding it in a more complicated system, such as the “GKP state”. (Courtesy: Volodymyr Sivak, Yale University) A team of researchers at Yale ...
