Last month I showed how coding and error correction allows next-generation broadcast technologies such as DVB-T2 and DVB-NGH to achieve performance very close to the ...

There’s widespread agreement that most useful quantum computing will have to wait for the development of error-corrected qubits. Error correction involves ...

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 ...

Error Correcting Code (ECC) technology, such as Low-Density Parity Check codes, has been around longer than most of you reading this have been alive. The reason is ...

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 ...
