Last month I showed how coding and error correction allows next-generation broadcast technologies such as DVB-T2 and DVB-NGH to achieve performance very close to the ...

There’s widespread agreement that most useful quantum computing will have to wait for the development of error-corrected qubits. Error correction involves ...

Quantum computing is plagued by noise and small errors. An approach based on topological techniques reduces the sensitivity to errors and boosts the prospects for building practical quantum computers.

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 ...

This “single-error-correct, double-error-detect” approach is often abbreviated SECDED. The second generation of ECC can correct a whole device, while the third adds internal ECC. In memory, the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Microsoft and Quantinuum quantum computing researchers just ...
