Be careful of the b s out there
🔹 Why IonQ Created AQ
Most quantum companies used to compete on qubit count, but that’s misleading — having more qubits doesn’t mean the system is better if they’re noisy or poorly connected.
So IonQ defined Algorithmic Qubits (AQ) as:
“The largest number of qubits on which our system can run arbitrary quantum circuits successfully with a high probability of correctness.”
In other words, AQ = functional, error-managed, useful qubits.
