Quantum computing systems are now being evaluated based on a new metric called Quantum Fidelity-per-Cost, which assesses the trade-off between the accuracy of quantum computations and their cost. This development is crucial as cloud-accessible quantum computing has become increasingly prevalent, making hardware comparison a key consideration for practical purchasing decisions. Researchers have identified a significant gap in the existing methods for comparing quantum computers, particularly due to the diverse billing models employed by various cloud-based providers. The introduction of Quantum Fidelity-per-Cost aims to address this issue by enabling a more informed and cost-aware comparison of quantum computing systems1. This new metric has the potential to significantly impact the field of quantum computing, as it allows practitioners to make more informed decisions when selecting a quantum computing system. So what matters to practitioners is that this new metric can help optimize resource allocation and budgeting for quantum computing projects.
