In September, Microsoft made an unusual combination of announcements. It demonstrated progress with quantum error correction, something that will be needed for the ...

NAND flash memory underpins a vast array of modern electronic devices, yet its increasing storage densities and shrinking semiconductor geometries have exacerbated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum computing is expected to leave classical computing in the dust when it comes to solving some of the world’s most fiendishly difficult problems. The best quantum machines today have one major ...

Researchers from Google have demonstrated a new generation of quantum computer, called Willow, which is able to run its random circuit sampling (RCS) benchmark significantly faster than a ...

The company says it has cracked the code for error correction and is building a modular machine in New York state. IBM announced detailed plans today to build an ...

That’s why the field is racing to develop and implement quantum error-correction (QEC) schemes to alleviate the technology’s inherent unreliability. These approaches involve building redundancies into ...
