Measuring what matters: A scalable framework for application-level quantum benchmarking

A novel framework for application-level quantum benchmarking has been developed to assess the performance of quantum computing systems in a meaningful way. This framework is designed to be scalable, allowing for internal system evaluation and cross-platform comparison across different technology providers. By focusing on application-level metrics, the framework provides a more accurate representation of a system's capabilities, enabling better decision-making for developers and users. The framework's ability to support cross-platform comparison is particularly significant, as it will facilitate the development of more robust and reliable quantum computing systems¹. This advancement has significant implications for the field of quantum computing, as it will enable more effective evaluation and comparison of different systems, ultimately driving innovation and progress. The development of this framework is crucial for practitioners, as it will help them to better understand the capabilities and limitations of quantum computing systems, and make informed decisions about their use.
