sponding to a violation by 244.0σ. In the latter case, the standard error on S is<br />

estimated using a combined-probability argument.<br />

The analysis <strong>of</strong> measurement crosstalk in the experiment shows asymmetric<br />

crosstalk magnitudes <strong>of</strong> 0.31% from qubit A to qubit B and 0.59% from qubit B<br />

to qubit A. This leads to a correction in the positive bound on S achievable by<br />

a hidden variable theory to S ≤ 2.0056 instead <strong>of</strong> S ≤ 2.0, reducing the above<br />

mentioned violations from 59.5σ to 55.5σ and from 244.0σ to 225.3σ<br />

Correcting for non-ideal fidelities during the tunneling measurement, we estimate<br />

that the entangled pair <strong>of</strong> qubits before the tunneling measurement shows<br />

an S-value <strong>of</strong> S = 2.337.<br />

All obtained results can be explained to very good agreement with quantum<br />

simulations including energy decay (T 1 ), dephasing (T ϕ ), and non-ideal measurement<br />

fidelities as the only imperfections.<br />

12.2 S-Value as Qubit Pair Benchmark<br />

Given the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> the measured S-value to every single control and performance<br />

parameter <strong>of</strong> a coupled qubit pair, we suggest that it could be used as<br />

a powerful single-number performance benchmark usable as the basis <strong>of</strong> direct<br />

comparison <strong>of</strong> different qubit architectures. For this, the value <strong>of</strong> S itself provides<br />
