IBM ibmq_bogota

IBM · Apache-2.0 last capture 2021-03-15

ibmq_bogota is a 5-qubit IBM quantum computer, with records from 2020 to 2021.

On its latest calibration (15 March 2021), a typical two-qubit operation failed about 1 in 68, better than 22% of the 65 other devices in this record.

The newest record is from 15 March 2021, so the machine may since have been upgraded or retired.

Best 2Q fidelity
IBM · Apache-2.0
0.991396
fails about 1 in 120

Success rate of the chip's single best pair of qubits. The best pair flatters the chip; the typical one matters more.

Median 2Q error
IBM · Apache-2.0
0.0148102
fails about 1 in 68

How often a typical two-qubit operation on this chip fails, from the vendor's own calibration.

Better than 22% of 65 other devices with this measurement
Measured 2021-03-15
Median T1 (µs)
IBM · Apache-2.0
111.09

How long a typical qubit holds its state before it decays, in microseconds. Longer leaves more time to compute.

Better than 48% of 67 other devices with this measurement

Median T2 (µs)
IBM · Apache-2.0
108.53

How long a typical qubit keeps its delicate quantum phase, in microseconds.

Median readout error
IBM · Apache-2.0
0.0339
fails about 1 in 29

How often reading a typical qubit's value at the end gives the wrong answer.
