99% gate fidelity

You’ve probably heard the magic number—99% fidelity—for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

But where does it come from? What does it actually mean? And is it really the whole story? 🤔

In our latest carousel, we break it all down:

  • The origin of 99% as a rule of thumb
  • Where it’s valid
  • Why it’s not a one-size-fits-all number
