Last month I showed how coding and error correction allows next-generation broadcast technologies such as DVB-T2 and DVB-NGH to achieve performance very close to the ...

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 ...

The FEC on a CD uses interleaving and layering. A short {32, 28} code is used to correct errors read from the track. Any it cannot correct are marked as erasures and the result is de-interleaved. The ...

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 ...

Computers also make mistakes. These are usually suppressed by technical measures or detected and corrected during the calculation. In quantum computers, this involves some effort, as no copy can be ...

RANCHO BERNARDO, Calif. — France Telecom, the Paris-based telecommunications giant, is gearing up to enforce its patents on forward error correction technology in ...

As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

Quantum link: New research has revealed an unexpected connection between the physics of approximate error-correcting codes and quantum gravity. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Evgenia Fux) In computing, ...
