Researchers led by Prof. David DiVincenzo from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, and partners from the University of Basel and QuTech Delft, have ...

Quantum computers have immense potential because they could perform highly complex calculations much faster than current supercomputers. However, the hurdle to the practical application of quantum ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many experts predict that practical fault tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) will require millions of physical quantum bits (qubits) but in August, 2023 IBM scientists ...

As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...

For the uninitiated, low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is an error correction code (ECC) that is used to both detect and correct errors on data that is transmitted ...

It’s fair to say that QR codes are a technology that has finally come of age. A decade or more ago they were a little over-hyped and sometimes used in inappropriate or pointless ways, but now they are ...

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 ...
