Questions tagged [quantum-volume]

Roughly speaking, quantum volume measures the worth of quantum computing hardware by the square of the maximum depth of quantum computations it permits but limits its value to the square of the qubits involved. This limit is justified by wanting to forestall "gaming" of the system by optimizing towards few qubits. (https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/q/3985)

How quantum volume relates to the number of qubits

According to this paper, quantum volume is defined by the width or number of QV layers of the largest random square circuit (with width equal to the number of layers) that a quantum processor can successfully run. The way I understand this…
