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 ...

The researchers have proven PLANAR's effectiveness on surface codes under particular noise conditions and plan to adapt it for non-planar graphs with finite genus, opening the door to broader use in ...

There’s a strong consensus that tackling most useful problems with a quantum computer will require that the computer be capable of error correction. There is ...

A new technical paper titled “Quantum error correction below the surface code threshold” was published by researchers at Google and other collaborators.

Google successfully used quantum error correction in practice, opening the door to large quantum computers with vast capabilities. The team used a surface code to ...

Researchers at Google Quantum AI and collaborators have developed a quantum processor with error rates that get progressively smaller as the number of quantum bits ...

The quantum low-density parity check (QLDPC) codes, the “holy grail” of quantum error correction research and development for 30 years, have a breakthrough ...

The company’s surface code technique allows its quantum bits to faithfully store and manipulate data for longer, which could pave the way for useful quantum ...
