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 ...

On Tuesday, Microsoft made a series of announcements related to its Azure Quantum Cloud service. Among them was a demonstration of logical operations using the largest number of error-corrected qubits ...

While noise can show up anywhere, ECC also can correct deterministic errors, such as those caused by faulty cells. This makes it possible to develop a design and test strategy that leverages some of ...

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 ...

The researchers have proven PLANAR's effectiveness on surface codes under particular noise conditions and plan to adapt it for non-planar graphs with finite genus, opening the door to broader use in ...

Computer scientists say they’ve cracked the science behind error-correction in quantum computers thanks to new "4D codes." Developed by Microsoft, the new codes were revealed in a blog post published ...
