A Google-led research team has demonstrated a surface-code logical qubit operating below the error-correction threshold, ...

In September, Microsoft made an unusual combination of announcements. It demonstrated progress with quantum error correction, something that will be needed for the ...

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Researchers from Google have demonstrated a new generation of quantum computer, called Willow, which is able to run its random circuit sampling (RCS) benchmark significantly faster than a ...

NAND flash memory underpins a vast array of modern electronic devices, yet its increasing storage densities and shrinking semiconductor geometries have exacerbated ...

Error-corrected magic: Clifford circuits attain universality – that is, the ability to compute any function that quantum theory permits – upon injection of special states called magic states.

If you’ve ever sent a text message, played a CD, or stored a file in the cloud, you’ve benefited from error correction. This revolutionary idea dates back to the ...

Error correction occurs in decoding because there are only limited legal states available at any node on the graph. When the bit stream contains an illegal code, the decoder knows an error occurred.
