Summary:
- This article discusses a new protocol developed by researchers to benchmark the performance of quantum gates, which are the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers.
- The protocol involves using an entangled state of two qubits (the basic units of quantum information) to accurately measure the fidelity, or the quality, of quantum gates.
- This new benchmarking method can help researchers improve the reliability and efficiency of quantum computers, which have the potential to revolutionize fields such as cryptography, material science, and drug discovery.
