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 ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded, for the first time, in quickly and continuously correcting errors in digital quantum systems. This means they have overcome an important hurdle on the road to ...

In this paper, we investigate an architectural-level mitigation technique based on the coordinated action of multiple checksum codes, to detect and correct errors at run-time.

The increase in bandwidth is driving more innovations in the Ethernet physical layer technology to combat numerous challenges like channel loss, inter-symbol ...

Astronaut John Glenn was wary about trusting a computer. It was 1962, early in the computer age, and a room-sized machine had calculated the flight path for his upcoming orbit of Earth — the first for ...

In a scene from the movie Gladiator, Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, worried about the fragility of his empire, tells his general, Maximus: “There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper ...

For the first time, a quantum computer has improved its results by repeatedly fixing its own mistakes midcalculation with a technique called quantum error correction ...

The current generation of quantum hardware has been termed "NISQ": noisy, intermediate-scale quantum processors. "Intermediate-scale" refers to a qubit count that is typically in the dozens, while ...
