The work paid off. The codes achieve an encoding rate—a number that indicates the ratio between logical and physical qubits—of up to 30% which Goto says appears to be the world's highest among the ...

Researchers at USTC in China turned to microwave-based error correction to achieve a distance-7 logical qubit, much like ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Carbon code is different, says Svore. “We do not consider the Carbon code to be an LDPC code,” she says. Technically, Carbon code is a stabilizer code of the Calderbank-Shor-Steane variety, which is a ...

Researchers led by Prof. David DiVincenzo from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, and partners from the University of Basel and QuTech Delft, have ...
