Algorithmic qubits (#AQ)
The number of qubits a machine can use successfully across a set of standard algorithms, based on the QED-C application benchmarks.
When results can be compared
Defined and mostly reported by IonQ. The test suite has changed over time, so compare only results that name the same version.
Where it comes from
IonQ, building on the QED-C application-oriented benchmarks. Note: Defined by IonQ, a hardware maker.
