Quantum Benchmarking: The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of quantum benchmarking. Proposed research should quantify the long-term utility of quantum computers. In particular, proposed research should center around either (1) the creation of application-specific, hardware-agnostic benchmarks for quantum computer utility or (2) hardware resource estimation for quantum computers. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
