To wrap up our recent series of articles on VESA video compression codecs, this month we will look at the use of video compression on digital display interfaces, using the DisplayPort 1.4 standard as ...

This year’s Q2B meeting took place at the end of last month in Paris at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, a science museum in the north-east of the city. The event brought together more than ...

Quantum computing is plagued by noise and small errors. An approach based on topological techniques reduces the sensitivity to errors and boosts the prospects for building practical quantum computers.

With these 32 bytes RS can correct errors in 16 bytes of the message. This means a single bit, or all eight bits, can be wrong in 16 different bytes and the RS will correct them. The number of parity ...

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 ...

Mistakes happen — especially in quantum computers. The fragile quantum bits, or qubits, that make up the machines are notoriously error-prone, but now scientists have shown that they can fix the flubs ...

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 ...
