Several techniques can be used to efficiently implement a Hamming coder for single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection. Many error-correcting codes ...

In 1950 Bell Labs researcher Richard W. Hamming made a discovery that would lay an important foundation for the entire modern computing and communications industries. He had invented a code for ...

Scalable quantum technologies require the ability to maintain and manipulate coherent quantum states over an arbitrarily long period of time. It is problematic then that the small quantum systems that ...

The same codes needed to thwart errors in quantum computers may also give the fabric of space-time its intrinsic robustness. Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist ...

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 ...

Researchers at Google Quantum AI and collaborators have developed a quantum processor with error rates that get progressively smaller as the number of quantum bits ...

Figure 1. LDPC decoding latency can be minimized by using progressively stronger (and slower) forms of soft-decision (SLDPC) decoding only as needed when hard ...
