Questions tagged [quantum-volume]
Roughly speaking, quantum volume measures the worth of quantum computing hardware by the square of the maximum depth of quantum computations it permits but limits its value to the square of the qubits involved. This limit is justified by wanting to forestall "gaming" of the system by optimizing towards few qubits. (https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/q/3985)

Quantum volume calculation: what is the significance of the value 2/3 for probability to observe a heavy output in the definition of achievable depth?
I am looking into the algorithm to calculate the quantum volume of a given quantum computer. The one thing that is unclear to me is how the achievable depth is defined.
In Andrew W. Cross, Lev S. ...

Is there something like error-suppression codes?
My question is a bit on the soft side, and basically asks if there is something between error mitigation and full error correction?
On the one hand, as far as I understand, trying to increase the ...

What use cases are there for 127 qubit QPUs?
IBM have recently announced their 127 qubit Eagle processor. Other approaches, such as Rydberg arrays, have now 256 qubits, as for example in QuEra's QPU QPU.
While these are without a doubt ...

Why is the quantum volume vastly greater than the number of qubits squared?
According to Wikipedia, the Honeywell computer has quantum volume ("QV") equal to 1024 and has 10 qubits. QV should not be more than $n^2$ squared, i.e. 100.
Is this any math error? Are the ...
