By combining surface codes with lattice surgery, researchers have shown how logical qubits can be manipulated and entangled ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Just like any machine, quantum computers are prone to make errors. These errors can cause the qubits to lose their quantum states, ...

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 ...

If you want to tile a bathroom floor, square tiles are the simplest option — they fit together without any gaps in a grid pattern that can continue indefinitely. That square grid has a property shared ...

Two-dimensional projection of a quantum spherical code composed of two copies (black and red) of the four complex dimensional Witting polytope. This code can correct up to five photon losses of any ...

Classical computing has operated as the fundamental power behind our digital world for many decades. Modern civilization relies on classical systems to operate smartphones and global financial ...

In a world first, scientists have demonstrated an enigmatic phenomenon in quantum computing that could pave the way for fault-tolerant machines that are far more powerful than any supercomputer. The ...

In the world of quantum error correction, an underdog is coming for the king. Last week, new simulations from two groups reported that a rising class of quantum error ...
