Quantum Machines Reaches a Performance Milestone on Rigetti Hardware

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum Machines (QM), the global leader in hybrid quantum-classical control solutions, today announced that it has successfully operated Rigetti Computing’s commercially available Novera™ superconducting quantum processing unit using QM’s OPX1000 hardware and QUAlibrate software, reaching 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity, paving the path for broader industry adoption. In practical […]

Why this matters
Why now

The quantum computing industry is rapidly advancing towards practical applications, and achieving higher gate fidelities is a critical step for commercial viability and broader adoption.

Why it’s important

Achieving higher two-qubit gate fidelity on commercial quantum hardware brings quantum computing closer to scalable, error-corrected systems, accelerating progress toward real-world use cases.

What changes

The demonstrated 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity on commercial hardware sets a new benchmark for system performance, making quantum machines more robust and reliable for complex computations.
