Why qiskit superconducting device native gates different from that of trapped ion device?
For IBMQ device based on superconducting technology, when we transpile the circuit, it is decomposed of U1,U2,U3 and CNOT gates, which are its native gates.
However for trapped ion device, its native ...

Why does Google's quantum processor outperform IBM's?
I understand that both have 53 qubit devices, yet it is Google that has demonstrated quantum supremacy (although IBM refutes this!). I'm not sure if this is true but it seems like IBM cannot replicate ...

Why do the IBM and Google processors both have 53 qubits?
As I understand from this IBM post both the IBM and Google teams have independently built 53-qubit processors. What is the significance of the number 53? It is purely coincidental, or is there a ...

Can we simulate quantum many-body systems with IBMQ Experience?
Consider physical systems such as electrons in metals, or Bose-Einstein condensates, or any crystal, which are realised in the real three-dimensional space.
If we want to simulate these systems on a ...

Problem with initial_layout on Qiskit/IBMQ: 'Not enough qubits in CouplingGraph'
I am trying to run an execution on IBMQx2 where I can specify the physical qubits to which I apply gates. The execution without the initial_layout runs fine, but ...

Comparing CPU to QPU In terms of processing power
The current processors are limited by the speed of the electrons but quantum processors take advantage of the properties of subatomic particles. But the question is how to compare the processing power ...

IBM's quantum computing capabilities — entangled 18-qubit GHZ states and high coherence times
Here's a blog post that corresponds with what IBM presented at the 2019 March Meeting.
In this post, they claim they've measured qubit T1 relaxation times above 500 microseconds, and claim that they'...

What is the difference in computational power between qubit and bit (transistor)? [duplicate]
If I use for example 5-qubit IBM-Q quantum computer and we accept the law of quantum parallelism ($n$ qubit = $2^n$ ordinary bits), so does it mean that computational power of this computer is equal ...
