Qubits Can Be as Safe as Bits, Researchers Show
information theoryBy Mordechai RorvigJanuary 6, 2022A new result shows that quantum information can theoretically be protected from errors just as well as classical information can. Samuel Velasco/Quanta MagazineOver the centuries, we have learned to put information into increasingly durable and useful form, from stone tablets to paper to digital media. Beginning in the 1980s, researchers…
Protecting qubits from errors using photons in a silicon chip
Quantum computers can process information millions of times faster than classic computers. They offer more computing power for specific, very tricky problems. Qubits or quantum bits are the fundamental building block for quantum information processes. Due to fragile quantum states, the qubits pick up errors very quickly. Sometimes, they get damaged by the environment of…
