Such error-detection codes would detect, for example, the change of one bit from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 in corrupted data.

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.

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.

Researchers at Quantinuum claim their error-detecting code accurately simulated a molecule and could boost research into quantum computers.
