By comparison, in AI, there are a number of benchmarks comparing AI models on everything from how well they do at math, to their ability to generate images, to whether they can find bugs in computer code.
Benchmarks are important so that people can do fair comparisons of quantum systems, says Juliette Peyronnet, US general manager at Alice & Bob, a quantum computing company.
“We know Sandia, the national lab, is working on one, and we hope it will be out soon, but it’s not there yet,” she tells Network World. “We want an organization like Sandia to come out with a benchmark that’s not from a vendor.”
