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 ...

When running a server, especially one with mission-critical applications, it’s common practice to use error-correcting code (ECC) memory. As the name suggests, it uses an error-correcting algorithm to ...

Quantum error‐correcting codes (QECCs) have emerged as a crucial instrument in the quest to realise reliable quantum information processing. These codes utilise sophisticated mathematical frameworks ...

QuEra Computing (QEC) has unveiled a roadmap for advanced error-corrected quantum computers, in which it plans to achieve 100 logical error-corrected qubits in 2026. The roadmap starts this year, with ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to tile a bathroom floor, square tiles are the simplest option—they fit together without any gaps in a grid pattern that can ...

When running a server, especially one with mission-critical applications, it’s common practice to use error-correcting code (ECC) memory. As the name suggests, it uses an error-correcting algorithm to ...

Scientists have designed a physical qubit that behaves as an error-correcting "logical qubit," and now they think they can scale it up to make a useful quantum computer using a few hundred. When you ...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic candidate for the presidency, went on the Jordan B. Peterson podcast on June 5 and told a wild and false story about me from 2005 that I want to tell you about. RFK ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

Fault-Tolerant Fusion-Based Quantum Computing Architecture with Quantum Error-Correcting Fusion / A fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture designed using quantum error-correcting encoded-fusion ...
