DARPA Releases Preliminary Findings of Quantum Computer Benchmarking Research Effort
Researchers working on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Quantum Benchmarking program have released pre-prints of the initial results of their effort to develop scientifically rigorous metrics that can be used to measure the impact of quantum computers on key computational challenges. The findings cover work done during phase 2 of the program, which saw three teams refine a set of benchmarks and expand the applications they can be used for and two teams develop tools to estimate the quantum computing resources needed to run those applications.
