Quantum Machines Achieves 99.5% Accuracy with Rigetti Novera Processor

Quantum Machines achieves 99.5% accuracy with Rigetti's Novera processor.

Quantum Machines announced a median accuracy of 99.5% for two-qubit operations on the commercial nine-qubit superconducting processor Novera by Rigetti, using its proprietary control system.

The configuration was executed through the OPX1000 platform and the QUAlibrate software product. The complete calibration took 10 days.

The median accuracy of single-qubit operations reached 99.93%. These metrics were achieved across all nine qubits and 11 available connections between them.

Quantum Machines emphasized that the achieved metrics align with the target specifications declared by Rigetti for Novera. The company effectively demonstrated that the commercial processor can meet the stated parameters without using the developer’s proprietary infrastructure.

Rigetti confirmed that Novera is capable of demonstrating high accuracy even when operating with third-party control systems and software.

Novera is designed for local deployment and is built on the same architecture as Rigetti’s larger superconducting systems. Users of its solutions include Fermilab, Montana State University, and Horizon Quantum.

Back in May, developers at Quantus highlighted the crypto market’s unpreparedness for the quantum threat.
