A sustained execution rate of over one million circuit layer operations per second now defines a new standard for assessing quantum computer performance. Until recently, benchmarking focused on fidelity alone, overlooking how quickly these machines could actually run complex calculations repeatedly. This work introduces CLOPS_h, linking system speed directly to hardware limitations and offering a more realistic measure of utility at scale.
