Title: 基准测试量子计算机

Abstract: The rapid pace of development in quantum computing technology has sparked a proliferation of benchmarks for assessing the performance of quantum computing hardware and software. Good benchmarks empower scientists, engineers, programmers, and users to understand a computing system's power, but bad benchmarks can misdirect research and inhibit progress. In this Perspective, we survey the science of quantum computer benchmarking. We discuss the role of benchmarks and benchmarking, and how good benchmarks can drive and measure progress towards the long-term goal of useful quantum computations, i.e., "quantum utility". We explain how different kinds of benchmark quantify the performance of different parts of a quantum computer, we survey existing benchmarks, critically discuss recent trends in benchmarking, and highlight important open research questions in this field.

Abstract: 量子计算技术的快速发展引发了对评估量子计算软硬件性能的基准测试的大量涌现。 良好的基准测试使科学家、工程师、程序员和用户能够了解计算系统的性能，但不良的基准测试可能会误导研究并阻碍进展。 在本文中，我们综述了量子计算机基准测试的科学。 我们讨论了基准测试的作用和基准测试方法，以及良好的基准测试如何推动并衡量向实现有用量子计算这一长期目标——即“量子实用性”——的进展。 我们解释了不同类型的基准如何量化量子计算机不同部分的性能，我们综述了现有的基准，批判性地讨论了基准测试的最新趋势，并强调了该领域的重要开放研究问题。
