Circuit Layer Operations per Second

Circuit Layer Operations per Second (CLOPS) is a benchmarking metric of quantum computers developed by IBM in 2021. While Quantum volume is more indicative of a qubit's performance and quality, CLOPS is a measure of a quantum computer’s execution speed. CLOPS incorporates both the time to run a circuit as well as the real-time and near-time classical computation, enabling it to serve as a holistic single measure of speed. CLOPS in conjunction with the number of qubits and the quantum volume was originally envisioned by IBM to be the 3 core metrics for comparing quantum devices.
