Phasecraft has been contracted to join the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, a program aimed at assessing the performance of quantum hardware. As part of this initiative, Phasecraft will utilize its proprietary software to provide independent verification and validation of quantum hardware performance, focusing on determining the realistic resource requirements for logical qubits. This effort is crucial in establishing a clear understanding of the current state of quantum computing and identifying potential roadblocks to achieving utility-scale quantum computing. By working with the University of Maryland's Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security, Phasecraft will play a key role in auditing the timelines for quantum computing development, helping to establish a more accurate estimate of when quantum computers will be capable of breaking current cryptographic standards. The urgency of planning for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has increased, particularly in light of recent developments from companies like Intel, which are narrowing the timeline for cryptographic migration1. This development matters to practitioners and informed readers because it highlights the need for organizations to accelerate their PQC planning and migration efforts to stay ahead of the potential quantum threat.
