Computers employ a variety of schemes to check whether a chunk of digital information–transmitted as a message, stored in a database, or functioning as a set of instructions–remains error-free. Such ...

Quantum data are susceptible to decoherence induced by the environment and to errors in the hardware processing it. A future fault-tolerant quantum computer will use ...

Error detecting and correcting codes are based on significant distance between two bit strings in terms of the number of bits that have to alter to get from the first ...

A preprint study by Quantiniuum claims a new error-detecting code was able to accurately simulate a hydrogen molecule and could help create more advanced quantum computers. A team of scientists claim ...
