New codes aim to link quantum modules despite unreliable connections
A team at Northeastern University has been awarded funding by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop quantum error correction codes. The project focuses on modular quantum systems, where separate modules must exchange quantum information over connections that may be noisy or unreliable. The goal is to design codes that can protect information across those links.

If the new codes treat noisy interconnects as part of the error model, they could enable small-scale demonstrations of error-corrected links between two existing quantum processor modules within two years.
