The researchers have proven PLANAR's effectiveness on surface codes under particular noise conditions and plan to adapt it for non-planar graphs with finite genus, opening the door to broader use in ...

Error-correcting codes are fundamental tools in ensuring the reliability of data transmission and storage by incorporating redundancy that enables the detection and ...

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 ...

In the second of a two-part article, Philip Ball looks at the challenges of error correction to build truly useful quantum computing; how algorithms will need to be ...

Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist of quantum particles that have some probability of being in each of two states, designated |0 and |1 , at the same time. When ...

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 ...
