What is the symbol rate of QPSK?

Each of the four possible phases of carriers represents two bits of data. Thus, there are two bits per symbol. Since the symbol rate for QPSK is half of the bit rate , twice the information can be carried in the same amount of channel bandwidth as compared to binary phase shift keying.

What is QAM symbol rate?

As the number of symbols increases, more data bits are transmitted per symbol. For example, 64-QAM is a QAM scheme with 64 symbols, and 256-QAM is a scheme with 256 symbols. 256-QAM conveys 8 bits per symbol (as 256 = 28), so achieving twice the data rate of 16-QAM for the same symbol rate.
