French startup Alice and Bob announced today a new way to reduce errors in ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have announced a breakthrough in quantum error correction that could bring a large-scale quantum computer closer to ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward—is one image that helps us picture how a quantum computer handles ...

Due to their error-prone hardware, quantum computers have not yet found practical use. One promising solution is quantum error correction: special methods are used to find and correct errors in the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Microsoft and Quantinuum quantum computing researchers just ...

Error Correction Codes (ECC) play an essential role in safeguarding memory systems by detecting and correcting errors that arise from various sources, including ...

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 ...

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 ...

For quantum computers to go from research curiosities to practically useful devices, researchers need to get their errors under control. New research from Microsoft and Quantinuum has now taken a ...

The quantum low-density parity check (QLDPC) codes, the “holy grail” of quantum error correction research and development for 30 years, have a breakthrough ...
