Measuring Quantum Computer Power With IBM Quantum Volume Metric | NextBigFuture.com

If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. IBM created the Quantum Volume metric to measure the power of quantum computers. Quantum Computers have the potential to be vastly more powerful than regular computers. IBM created a Quantum Volume Metric to integrate all of the factors that effect the processing capability of quantum computers. IBM recently updated its Quantum Volume metric from an earlier definition. The single-number metric, quantum volume, can be measured using a concrete protocol on near-term quantum computers of modest size (less than 50 qubits) and measure it on several state-of-the-art transmon devices, finding values as
