For comparison, ion-based quantum computers are at 95 to 99 percent and superconducting quantum computers are around 90 to 95 percent. [...] Those comparison numbers are incorrect. Ion-based and superconducting-based groups have reported two-qubit gate fidelities of 99.9% [1] and 99.4% [2] respectively.
