Computers employ a variety of schemes to check whether a chunk of digital information–transmitted as a message, stored in a database, or functioning as a set of instructions–remains error-free. Such ...

I’ll discuss them with respect to RS code but they can be used with all FEC codes, including mixing types of FEC code. Interleaving is simply taking a number of messages and mixing the bytes, in a ...

IBM scientists today unveiled two critical advances towards the realization of a practical quantum computer. For the first time, they showed the ability to detect and measure both kinds of quantum ...

A preprint study by Quantiniuum claims a new error-detecting code was able to accurately simulate a hydrogen molecule and could help create more advanced quantum computers. A team of scientists claim ...

As with any electronic system, errors in the memory subsystem are possible due to design failures/defects or electrical noise in any one of the components. These errors are classified as either ...
