Error correction occurs in decoding because there are only limited legal states available at any node on the graph. When the bit stream contains an illegal code, the decoder knows an error occurred.

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 ...

A bosonic qubit developed by Nord Quantique. Made of aluminum, these cavities now contain two tiny "poles", each operating at a different frequency. These additional ...

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 ...

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