What Makes a Quantum Computer Good? Key Metrics Beyond Qubit Count
** Evaluating quantum computers requires looking beyond qubit counts to metrics like gate fidelity and coherence time. Understanding quantum supremacy and practical applications is key to assessing their true potential.
From Qubit Count to Quantum Performance
The journey of quantum computing has evolved dramatically from its early days, when the primary metric for a good quantum computer was simply the number of qubits. As the field has matured, researchers and manufacturers have realized that qubit quantity alone is insufficient. Today, a high-performing quantum computer balances several factors, including qubit stability, error rates, and the ability to execute complex algorithms reliably. This shift reflects a deeper understanding of what it takes to harness quantum mechanics for practical computation.

Asian Markets Defy Trade Tensions as Investors Eye Fed Policy and Tech Developments
Asian investors are shrugging off renewed trade tensions between the US and China, focusing instead on Federal Reserve policy signals and key developments across technology and health sectors. Equity futures point to gains across major Asian markets as Wall Street shows resilience amid geopolitical uncertainties.
Asian markets are poised for a robust recovery in early trading sessions as investors appear to be brushing aside escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. Despite President Donald Trump’s threats to restrict cooking oil trade with China—a move that rattled Wall Street on Tuesday—market indicators across Asia suggest growing confidence in regional economic stability. This optimistic outlook comes as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signals potential interest rate cuts and an early conclusion to balance sheet reductions, creating a favorable environment for risk assets across global markets.
