Researchers have made a digital map showing a tiny chunk of a human brain in unprecedented detail. Based on a brain tissue sample that had been surgically removed from a person, the map represents a cubic millimeter of brain—an area about half the size of a grain of rice. But even that tiny segment is overflowing with 1.4 million gigabytes of information—containing about 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels and 150 million synapses, the connections between neurons.

In a recent paper published in PRX Quantum, a team of researchers from Osaka University and RIKEN presented an approach to improve the fault-tolerance of color codes, a type of quantum error correction (QEC) code. Their method, known as Flagged Weight Optimization (FWO), targets the underlying challenges of color-code architectures, which historically suffer from lower thresholds under circuit-level noise.
