Whilst classical bit-flip detection can be realized via a linear array of qubits, a general fault-tolerant quantum error-correcting code requires extending into a higher-dimensional lattice.

This provided the impetus for researchers to develop the error detection and correction codes discussed here. Without FEC the world would be quite different.

Customers have said that using error mitigation and error detection can enable them to get far more utility from Quantum Circuits than competing quantum computers.

A new technical paper titled “Error Detection and Correction Codes for Safe In-Memory Computations” was published by researchers at Robert Bosch, Forschungszentrum Julich, and Newcastle University.
