"Our quantum error-correcting code has a greater than 1/2 code rate, targeting hundreds of thousands of logical qubits," explains Kasai. "Moreover, its decoding complexity is proportional to the ...

Google Quantum AI’s new research revisits a 1960s idea for unforgeable “quantum money,” exploring how physics, not code, ...

Enrollment for the program has officially begun, and it will close on February 4th, or when the Kibo Code Quantum class fills. Whichever comes first. If you are reading this Kibo Code Quantum review ...

The ability to detect and deal with errors when manipulating quantum systems is a fundamental requirement for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Unlike classical bits that are subject to only digital ...

Ever since the invention of the computer, coders have been working in the medium of 1s and 0s, creating the modern world by directly or indirectly manipulating binary computing bits that can be in one ...

Many people worry that quantum computers will be able to crack certain codes used to send secure messages. The codes in question encrypt data using “trapdoor” mathematical functions that work easily ...
