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 ...

Error Correction: once an error is detected in a quantum codeword, error correction must be performed. This typically involves a series of complex quantum operations to restore the erroneous qubits to ...

In the world of quantum computing, the Hilbert space dimension—the measure of the number of quantum states that a quantum computer can access—is a prized possession. Having a larger Hilbert space ...

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

Astronaut John Glenn was wary about trusting a computer. It was 1962, early in the computer age, and a room-sized machine had calculated the flight path for his upcoming orbit of Earth — the first for ...

With these 32 bytes RS can correct errors in 16 bytes of the message. This means a single bit, or all eight bits, can be wrong in 16 different bytes and the RS will correct them. The number of parity ...
