Bringing Classical LDPC Code Design Theory to Quantum Computers
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks connect to each bit, retaining appropriate randomness, and avoiding short loops, designers can pursue both a large minimum distance and […]
