Communication channels are intrinsically unreliable because of the impossibility to completely prevent noise from interfering with information bits. Throughout the history of computers, this has led to various techniques being created for error correction, to ensure the integrity of a transmitted message.
In this section, we will look at how to detect and correct errors in classical computing. This will serve as an introduction to quantum error correction techniques, which we will discuss in the next section.
Let's start with one of the simplest classical error correction techniques, which is useful for correcting a single bit-flip error.
First, we will introduce the central idea behind most error correction processes, which consists of introducing redundant bits of information and keeping only the majority value. We will explore how to use this on an example error model to design error-correcting...
