French startup Alice and Bob announced today a new way to reduce errors in ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward—is one image that helps us picture how a quantum computer handles ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have announced a breakthrough in quantum error correction that could bring a large-scale quantum computer closer to ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

In contrast to classical computers, which operate on bits that can only take the basic values 0 and 1, quantum computers operate on "qubits," which can assume any superposition of the computational ...

Due to their error-prone hardware, quantum computers have not yet found practical use. One promising solution is quantum error correction: special methods are used to find and correct errors in the ...

Quantum computing breakthroughs from IonQ, D-Wave, QuEra, Alice & Bob, and others in the last six months, with dates, achievements, and their impact on error-corrected, scalable quantum systems. May 7 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Microsoft and Quantinuum quantum computing researchers just ...

There’s a general consensus that performing any sort of complex algorithm on quantum hardware will have to wait for the arrival of error-corrected qubits. Individual qubits are too error-prone to be ...

RIKEN scientists tap into AI to find a smarter method for fixing quantum errors, cutting resource demands for stable quantum machines. Theoretical physicists at RIKEN have made a key advance in ...

Modern network communications increasingly rely on sophisticated error correction techniques to maintain streaming performance and ensure reliable data delivery even ...
