In a recently published arXiv preprint, […]
Oxford Researchers Demonstrate Fast, 99.8% Fidelity Two-Qubit Gate Using Simplified Circuit Design
Insider Brief: Speed and fidelity are two of the most meaningful parameters for quantum gates. The faster the gate, the less time for decoherence to erode fidelity. The higher the fidelity, the less a system has to rely on quantum error correction, which, while powerful, comes with considerable overhead. A new result from the University […]
