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 ...

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 ...

With these 32 bytes RS can correct errors in 16 bytes of the message. This means a single bit, or all eight bits, can be wrong in 16 different bytes and the RS will correct them. The number of parity ...

This week’s question is: What are the best ways to deal with error correction in the second language classroom? Error correction in the English Language Learner ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronaut John Glenn was wary about trusting a computer. It was 1962, early in the computer age, and a room-sized machine had calculated the flight path for his upcoming orbit of Earth — the first for ...

"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 ...

Errors and mistakes are common in the classroom and in education. And I’ve published many posts about them. Today, educators share their strategies for handling errors made by students in their ...
