Amir Naveh and Quantum Volume – Episode 24 [Hybrid]

<p>Amir (VP of R&amp;D at Classiq, a quantum software startup) and I talk about how Quantum Volume is measured and how we in the public should interpret the results that come from it. While the metric does have some flaws, it’s still a good general-purpose single-number way to compare devices.</p> <ul> <li>IBM announces 65 qubit machine: <a href="https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2020/09/hardware-aware-quantum/">https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2020/09/hardware-aware-quantum/<br> </a></li> <li>IBM Planning on 1000 (physical) qubits by 2023: <a href="https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/09/15/ibms-quantum-roadmap-points-toward-1000-qubit-quantum-computer-by-2023/">https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/09/15/ibms-quantum-roadmap-points-toward-1000-qubit-quantum-computer-by-2023/<br> </a></li> <li>IBM, Honeywell, and IonQ are in a running gun battle for “highest quantum volume device”<br> <br> <a href="https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/08/20/ibm-says-company-achieved-highest-quantum-volume-to-date/">https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/08/20/ibm-says-company-achieved-highest-quantum-volume-to-date/<br> <br> </a><a href="https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/10/01/honeywell-reports-achieving-quantum-volume-128-on-companys-quantum-computer/">https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/10/01/honeywell-reports-achieving-quantum-volume-128-on-companys-quantum-computer/<br> <br> </a><a href="https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/10/02/ionq-unveils-new-32-qubit-quantum-computer/">https://thequantumdaily.com/2020/10/02/ionq-unveils-new-32-qubit-quantum-computer/<br> </a></li> <li>Megaprocessor: <a href="https://hackaday.com/2016/07/06/42300-transistor-megaprocessor-is-complete/">https://hackaday.com/2016/07/06/42300-transistor-megaprocessor-is-complete/<br> </a></li> <li>From NAND to Tetris on Coursera: <a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer">https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer<br> </a></li> <li>IBM Quantum Volume Paper: <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.12926.pdf">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.12926.pdf<br> </a></li
