Characteristics of Quantum Computers

The power of a quantum computer is measured in qubits, the basic unit of measurement in quantum computing. Source. I facepalm after each reading of such phrases. This has not led to good outcomes, my vision is starting to decline; I will soon have to turn to Meklon. I think it's time to systematically summarize the main parameters of a quantum computer. There are several: Number of qubits, Coherence time (decoherence time), Error rate, Processor architecture […]
