Quantum Machines and Rigetti have demonstrated that a commercially available nine-qubit superconducting processor can achieve 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity when operated outside its original developer's environment. This milestone validates the viability of third-party control systems for on-premises quantum deployment, reducing reliance on internal calibration teams for practical applications. The achievement highlights the critical role of integrated orchestration platforms in stabilizing error rates for scalable quantum computing ecosystems.
Quantum Machines QUAlibrate Automates Calibration, Boosting Novera Fidelity to 99.5%

Quantum Machines & Rigetti achieved 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity on the Novera quantum processing unit, a new performance high for the system.
Rigetti’s commercially available Novera quantum processor has achieved 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity when operated with Quantum Machines’ OPX1000 platform and QUAlibrate software, a result Quantum Machines believes represents the highest full-system Novera performance to date with a control systems partner. This milestone demonstrates stable, high-performance operation of an advanced superconducting quantum processor outside of its…
