IBM Heron r3: Layer fidelity (error per layered gate)

2.69 × 10⁻³ error per layered gate

As stated in the source: “2Q error (layered) 2.694E-3”

Caveats

Live calibration value that changes over time; the page shows no timestamp. Snapshot read on 27 Oct 2026. Recorded as EPLG (an error); layer fidelity itself is not shown. Lower is better. Live value from IBM's calibration table, read on 27 Oct 2026; IBM updates it regularly.

Set-up
ibm_boston. Average EPLG in a layered chain of 100 qubits, from IBM's current calibration data.
Method
Error per layered gate (EPLG) on a 100-qubit chain; EPLG_100 = 4/5(1 - LF^(1/99))
