Error-correcting codes are fundamental tools in ensuring the reliability of data transmission and storage by incorporating redundancy that enables the detection and correction of errors. Over recent ...

Universal fault-tolerant quantum computing relies on the implementation of quantum error correction. An essential milestone is the achievement of error-corrected ...

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 ...

Given three-bit corrections, for example, one could elect to use two of those bits for repairing errors and one bit for run-time reading noise. This creates some room for push and pull between the ...

The FEC on a CD uses interleaving and layering. A short {32, 28} code is used to correct errors read from the track. Any it cannot correct are marked as erasures and the result is de-interleaved. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
