Researchers led by Prof. David DiVincenzo from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, and partners from the University of Basel and QuTech Delft, have ...

Quantum error correction 1,2 (QEC) protects quantum information by encoding the state of a logical qubit into several physical qubits and is crucial to ensure that ...

In recent years, quantum computers have begun to handle double-digit quantum bits, or qubits. However, many essential applications targeted by quantum computers, such as quantum chemistry, ...

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 ...

There’s widespread agreement that most useful quantum computing will have to wait for the development of error-corrected qubits. Error correction involves ...

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 ...

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 ...
