RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- An Army project devised a novel approach for quantum error correction that could provide a key step toward practical quantum computers ...

To deal with this problem, various types of active error correction techniques have been developed. In contrast, researchers have now proposed a design for an inherently fault protected circuit with ...

Surface code: illustration of how error correction works for bit and phase flips. The measure qubits on light blue backgrounds check for phase flip errors while the ...

The ability to apply this targeted correction in a successful way is the central breakthrough of this research. The work so far is theoretical, but the team is actively working on a lab demonstration ...
