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 ...

Google has claimed an advance in quantum computing related to the devilishly difficult problem of quantum error correction. In a blog post from Google and Alphabet ...

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 ...

Thomas Stace receives funding from the Australian Research Council through a Future Fellowship and the Centre of Excellence in Engineered Quantum Systems. Computing power has grown exponentially over ...

The primary method for detecting and correcting errors in transmitted data. Forward error correction (FEC) adds bits to the outgoing message, and the receiving end ...
