Systematic means of benchmarking the performance of a quantum processor are still mostly missing. Xiao Yuan, Yunchao Liu, Qi Zhao, Bartosz Regula, Jayne Thompson (Horizon’s Technical Product Manager) and Mile Gu studied a practically meaningful, experimentally accessible, and universally relevant quantifier of a memory’s capability to preserve the quantum advantage. This measure applies unilaterally to all platforms, allowing us to benchmark processors across different architectures.
