Many types of error-correcting techniques exist, but in data communications, Hamming encoding probably finds the widest use. Unlike serial-port communications that use a single parity bit, Hamming ...
Quantum error‐correcting codes (QECCs) have emerged as a crucial instrument in the quest to realise reliable quantum information processing. These codes utilise sophisticated mathematical frameworks ...
When running a server, especially one with mission-critical applications, it’s common practice to use error-correcting code (ECC) memory. As the name suggests, it uses an error-correcting algorithm to ...
They conjectured in the Journal of High Energy Physics that space-time itself is a code—in anti-de Sitter (AdS) universes, at least. The paper has triggered a wave of activity in the quantum gravity ...
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 ...
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 ...
The potential use of DNA in data storage applications has been in the HEXUS news several times in recent years. One of the big players in the field is Microsoft, which has invested quite a bit of ...
When running a server, especially one with mission-critical applications, it’s common practice to use error-correcting code (ECC) memory. As the name suggests, it uses an error-correcting algorithm 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 ...
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, ...
