That would prevent this RS from correcting a message since it can only correct 16 errors. When the messages are de-interleaved the bad bytes are put back in their correct messages.

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 ...

Surface code: illustration of how error correction works for bit and phase flips. The measure qubits on light blue backgrounds check for phase flip errors while the ...

Scalable quantum technologies require the ability to maintain and manipulate coherent quantum states over an arbitrarily long period of time. It is problematic then that the small quantum systems that ...

These novel error-correction codes can handle quantum codes with hundreds of thousands of qubits, potentially enabling large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing, with applications in diverse fields ...

On Tuesday, Microsoft made a series of announcements related to its Azure Quantum Cloud service. Among them was a demonstration of logical operations using the largest number of error-corrected qubits ...
