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 ...

In August 2024, NIST finalized its first three post-quantum cryptographic standards, including FIPS 205 based on SPHINCS+, and companion key encapsulation protocols. These binding specifications have ...

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 ...

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 ...

The fragile qubits that make up quantum computers offer a powerful computational tool, yet also present a conundrum: How can engineers create practical, workable quantum systems out of bits that are ...

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 ...
