A Google-led research team has demonstrated a surface-code logical qubit operating below the error-correction threshold, showing that logical errors can fall rapidly as the code scales up. The ...

A common type of error-correcting mechanism in biology is called kinetic proofreading. For example, if errors turn up when cells are making new DNA, enzymes can cut out incorrect nucleotides. They can ...

In September, Microsoft made an unusual combination of announcements. It demonstrated progress with quantum error correction, something that will be needed for the ...

Quantum computing breakthroughs from IonQ, D-Wave, QuEra, Alice & Bob, and others in the last six months, with dates, achievements, and their impact on error-corrected, scalable quantum systems. May 7 ...

If you’ve ever sent a text message, played a CD, or stored a file in the cloud, you’ve benefited from error correction. This revolutionary idea dates back to the ...

Researchers from Google have demonstrated a new generation of quantum computer, called Willow, which is able to run its random circuit sampling (RCS) benchmark significantly faster than a ...

Eliminating errors in next-generation DNA sequencing has proved challenging. Here we present error-correction code (ECC) sequencing, a method to greatly improve sequencing accuracy by combining ...
