Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...

The FEC on a CD uses interleaving and layering. A short {32, 28} code is used to correct errors read from the track. Any it cannot correct are marked as erasures and the result is de-interleaved. The ...

Forward error-correction (FEC) has been integrated as a necessary adjunct for 10-Gbit Ethernet networks, and is assumed to be a necessity for any systems operating above that speed, particularly in ...
