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 ...

The same codes needed to thwart errors in quantum computers may also give the fabric of space-time its intrinsic robustness. Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist ...

Following up on Microsoft’s announcement of a qubit based on completely new physics, Amazon is publishing a paper describing a very different take on quantum computing hardware. The system mixes two ...

How do we achieve the lowest failure rates in our NAND flash-based system? You may have had this discussion amongst your engineering team or with your storage system supplier. What steps are being ...

Surface code: illustration of how error correction works for bit and phase flips. The measure qubits on light blue backgrounds check for phase flip errors while the ...

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a type of error-correction code increasingly used in applications requiring highly efficient information transfer over channels with the presence of ...

Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist of quantum particles that have some probability of being in each of two states, designated |0 and |1 , at the same time. When ...
