High-density NAND flash memories are key components in the burgeoning consumer market. Applications are rapidly expanding beyond USB keys and MP3 players to cell phones, media players, and game ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki Ph.D.) and the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech, President ...

Quantum computers are largely theoretical devices that could perform some computations exponentially faster than conventional computers can. Crucial to most designs ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...

As with any electronic system, errors in the memory subsystem are possible due to design failures/defects or electrical noise in any one of the components. These errors are classified as either ...

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a type of error-correction code increasingly used in applications requiring highly efficient information transfer over channels with the presence of ...

In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers developed a recurrent, transformer-based neural network to decode the surface code, a leading quantum error ...

This achievement leads to the improvement of communication quality for ground-to-satellite laser links and accelerates their practical implementation. It also enables applying existing terrestrial 5G ...
