FEC (forward-error-correction) techniques correct errors at the receiver end of digital communications systems. In contrast with error-detection and retransmission ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward—is one image that helps us picture how a quantum computer handles ...

test and verify the Reed-Solomon codec. Each of these steps is important, and missing one results in developing hardware that does not work the first time and must be re-created. For example, it is ...

The mystery serial killer would claim the lives of at least five victims and was in the midst of his protracted cat-and-mouse game with police and the media. He had at that stage attacked two young ...
