Quantum computers, devices that process information by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics, have been found to ...

There are some obvious big picture issues that stand between us and useful quantum computing. Issues like whether we can make ...

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 ...

IQM Quantum Computers has developed a new quantum error-correcting code that it says can reduce logical error rates by up to 1,000 times compared with the widely used ...

Error-correcting codes defined over finite fields form the cornerstone of reliable digital communication and data storage. Such codes exploit the algebraic structure of finite fields—denoted GF(q)—to ...

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 ...

Quantum error-correcting codes form the cornerstone of reliable quantum information processing. By embedding quantum data into carefully designed subspaces, these codes detect and correct errors ...

The research, available on arXiv, and co-authored by IQM researchers and collaborators at Freie Universität Berlin, the University of Edinburgh, and Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, introduces ...

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 ...
