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 ...

"Our quantum error-correcting code has a greater than 1/2 code rate, targeting hundreds of thousands of logical qubits," explains Kasai. "Moreover, its decoding complexity is proportional to the ...

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 ...

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 ...
