TQCI Seminar

Overview of upcoming application-oriented benchmarks for quantum computing in France and abroad

­

11 May 2023 THALES TRT – PALAISEAU from 9:00 to 18:00

Quantum computing is expected to revolutionize multiple technical fields and activity sectors, from optimization of industrial activities or in finance, to simulation for research, engineering or pharmaceutical industry, to name a few.

While looking to the future, it is critical to measure the progress towards the realization of such promises. Application-oriented benchmarks, enabling to evaluate the real performance of quantum computing from the user perspective appear to be useful within this perspective.

The challenge comes from the diversity of the hardware platforms, their specificities in terms of physical characteristics and applications, their maturity and the potential rapid evolution of the technologies…

In this one-day seminar, the approach supported by the France's National Quantum Strategy towards such a reliable and objective benchmarking tool will be presented and similar international initiatives will be highlighted.
