The Value of Quantum Benchmarking
summary
Argues that simple fidelity or qubit count is misleading and that meaningful benchmarking uses metrics like quantum volume, gate speed, and connectivity plus coherence and error‑correction overhead; shows benchmarks run on multiple platforms and finds application performance varies by as much as 5× between systems for the same nominal specs; points out that end‑to‑end system benchmarks (not single‑gate tests) reveal when a machine can actually run molecules or optimization workloads and recommends choosing hardware by target application.
