Extended lifetime Quantum information is protected by encoding it in a more complicated system, such as the “GKP state”. (Courtesy: Volodymyr Sivak, Yale University) A team of researchers at Yale ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you’ve ever sent a text message, played a CD, or stored a file in the cloud, you’ve benefited from error correction. This revolutionary idea dates back to the ...

It is a law of physics that everything that is not prohibited is mandatory. Errors are thus unavoidable. They are everywhere: in language, cooking, communication, image processing and, of course, ...

Errors and mistakes are common in the classroom and in education. And I’ve published many posts about them. Today, educators share their strategies for handling errors made by students in their ...
