The future of quantum hardware
Our hardware is focused on superconducting qubits, requiring specialized cryogenic environments and custom control electronics. To achieve greater computational power, we are continuously working to scale up the number and quality of qubits while implementing error correction techniques. A key emphasis is placed on the tight integration of hardware components, all within a framework of ongoing research and development to drive advancements in the capabilities of the full quantum system.
Effective quantum volumeThe number of quantum operations or gates that contribute to a measurement outcome—the quantum computer's effectiveness. is a key metric we use to measure the capabilities of our quantum processors. This metric considers not only the number of qubits but also their quality and error rates, ensuring we provide users with hardware optimized for meaningful research and the development of long-term applications.
