The quantum low-density parity check (QLDPC) codes, the “holy grail” of quantum error correction research and development for 30 years, have a breakthrough, according to the Vancouver-based Photonic Inc. These codes use fewer quantum bits (qubits) than traditional surface code approaches. The company’s chief quantum officer, Stephanie Simmons, sat with EE Times to explain how this low-overhead error correction technology works to realize the promised exponential speedups in quantum computing.
