The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Has Launched New Quantum Benchmarking Initiative

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently announced that it has begun a new initiative to benchmark quantum computing algorithms and applications and assess the feasibility of building an industrial quantum computer. This Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) stemmed from two of the agency’s programs: Quantum Benchmarking and Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing. According to the agency, QBI will strengthen engagement with quantum computing hardware companies to validate whether their current quantum computing hardware has the potential to build an industrial quantum computer.
