Symbol J

The passage around this formula

…the subtler chaining question is addressed. A superconducting transmon-style qubit with a transition frequency near 5\,$\mathrm{GHz}$ carries a local energy gap $\langle$ H$\rangle$-$E_0$=hf$\approx$3.3$\times$10^{-24}\,$\mathrm J$ . Substituted into the instantaneous rate 2($\langle$ H$\rangle$-$E_0$)/$\pi$$\hbar$ , this gives an upper ceiling of roughly 2$\times$10^{10} orthogonal state changes per proper second; over one proper microsecond of continuous operation, $N_\perp$$\lesssim$2$\times$10^4 . Real superconducting processors run…
