Defining standards in QC- existing structures and IBM's perspective
summary
Defines existing standards activity: national DIN SPEC 9144 for post‑quantum encryption, ISO WG14 terminology work and a European FGQT roadmap being drafted; reports 400,000 registered IBM Quantum users, >1.5 trillion circuits run and ~4 billion hardware circuits per day across ~24 public systems. Describes concrete metrics and tools: quantum volume as a quality benchmark, new CLOPS speed KPI, Qiskit runtime and 127‑qubit Eagle chip with 3D stacking, and argues for open benchmarks and interoperable assembly formats for fair comparison.
