← ScienceWhich outcome impairs a quantum computer when gate calibrations diminish?
A)Reduced gate fidelity✓
B)Increased energy consumption
C)Elevated cryogenic temperature
D)Hardware architecture degradation
💡 Explanation
Reduced gate fidelity occurs through decoherence processes, affecting wave function evolution; diminished calibration leads to imperfect state manipulation via the quantum gate, because the applied pulse deviates from its ideal function; therefore fidelity drops, rather than thermal increase or breakdown.
