Do you want the job done right, or do you want it done fast? No matter the platform, processors based on circuit quantum electrodynamics can require a significant wait after measurement, to allow leftover photons to exit the readout resonators. The authors demonstrate two methods that minimize dead time, even when a resonator is driven $n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}l\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}e\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}a\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}r\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}l\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}y$. This reduces the buildup of errors in an error-correction cycle, so we can enjoy speed $a\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}d$ accuracy in quantum computing.
