Sandia-led team creates cross-platform benchmark that directly measures quantum computational power
A team led by Sandia National Laboratories has developed the QUOPS benchmark, which directly measures the largest computationally relevant quantum circuits a machine can execute and the speed at which it can execute them. Applied to processors from Quantinuum, Google, and IBM, the benchmark revealed a roughly 5-order-of-magnitude gap between current capability and the resource requirements for useful quantum computation.
