Example Sentences

The chip showed that scaling up qubit arrays, from 3×3 to 5×5 to 7×7, reduced error rates instead of compounding them.

From MarketWatch

In these systems, each atom acts as a qubit.

From Science Daily

Its recent error-correction results passed the “break-even” threshold, meaning a logical qubit performed better than its individual physical components.

From MarketWatch

Rigetti has the potential to scale with its qubit targets for next year and 2027, Rakesh said, while meeting 99.8% two-qubit gate fidelity, which is a measure of how close the outcome of a quantum computer’s two-qubit gate operation is to the ideal solution.

From MarketWatch

The researchers noted that their qubit is compatible with the architectures used by major companies such as Google and IBM.
