Four types of DRAM ECC. (a) Side-band ECC, where codes are stored in a memory chip separate from the data. (b) In-line ECC, where the internal memory of each chip is divided between data and code. For ...

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 ...

Quantum computers offer great promise for cryptography and optimization problems. ZDNet explores what quantum computers will and won't be able to do, and the challenges we still face. Read now ...

These novel error-correction codes can handle quantum codes with hundreds of thousands of qubits, potentially enabling large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing, with applications in diverse fields ...

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 ...

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 ...

All it takes is a simple coding change. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A student's tweak in quantum computing code could double ...

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 ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...
