In recent years, quantum computers have begun to handle double-digit quantum bits, or qubits. However, many essential applications targeted by quantum computers, such as quantum chemistry, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Written for you by our author Tejasri Gururaj, edited by Gaby Clark, and fact-checked and reviewed by Robert Egan —this article is the result of careful human work. We rely on readers like you to keep ...

Carbon code is different, says Svore. “We do not consider the Carbon code to be an LDPC code,” she says. Technically, Carbon code is a stabilizer code of the Calderbank-Shor-Steane variety, which is a ...

Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method ...

On Monday, Nature released a paper from Google’s quantum computing team that provides a key demonstration of the potential of quantum error correction. Thanks to an ...
