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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have announced a breakthrough in quantum error ...

There’s a strong consensus that tackling most useful problems with a quantum computer will require that the computer be capable of error correction. There is ...

Quantum error correction (QEC) and fault-tolerant computation provide the critical framework for realising reliable quantum processors in the presence of inevitable ...

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 ...

A bosonic qubit developed by Nord Quantique. Made of aluminum, these cavities now contain two tiny "poles", each operating at a different frequency. These additional ...

These novel error-correction codes can handle quantum codes with hundreds of thousands of qubits, potentially enabling large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing, with applications in diverse fields ...
