IonQ turns up the quantum volume

The startup IonQ says that its latest 32-qubit quantum computer will be the world’s most powerful, in terms of a benchmark called quantum volume. IonQ claims the computer has a quantum volume of over 4 million. In March, tech-focused conglomerate Honeywell announced its record-breaking effort had a quantum volume of 64. The measure is a combination of multiple factors, and it’s a big increase in ‘fidelity’, which is behind the huge improvement. IonQ says that it expects its computers to consistently outperform classical computers within two years, reports Ars Technica.
