Four types of DRAM ECC. (a) Side-band ECC, where codes are stored in a memory chip separate from the data. (b) In-line ECC, where the internal memory of each chip is divided between data and code. For ...

As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

There’s a strong consensus that tackling most useful problems with a quantum computer will require that the computer be capable of error correction. There is ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

All it takes is a simple coding change. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A student's tweak in quantum computing code could double ...

Quantum computers offer great promise for cryptography and optimization problems. ZDNet explores what quantum computers will and won't be able to do, and the challenges we still face. Read now ...

On Thursday, Microsoft’s Azure Quantum group announced that it has settled on a plan for getting error correction on quantum computers. While the company pursues ...
