CLOPS (Circuit Layer Operations Per Second)
CLOPS is a hardware-agnostic speed metric developed by IBM that measures how fast a quantum processor can execute parameterized circuit layers. It captures the full hardware-software stack including gate execution speed, classical compilation time, control instruction generation, and data transfer rates. IBM updated the metric in 2023 to CLOPSh, replacing Quantum Volume with layer fidelity for a more comprehensive assessment.[1]
