美國能源部橡樹嶺國家實驗室（ORNL）的研究人員開發了量子化學模擬基準，以評估量子裝置的效能並指導未來量子計算機的應用開發。其成果已發表在npj Quantum Information。

根據ORNL量子化學家Jacek Jakowski的說法，當前的基準測試是一套全面基準測試和度量標準的基礎，這些標準用於管理不同科學領域的量子處理器的效能。隨著量子計算硬體的改進，這一基準將不斷髮展。

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a quantum chemistry simulation benchmark to evaluate the performance of quantum devices and guide the development of applications for future quantum computers. Their findings were published in npj Quantum Information.

According to ORNL quantum chemist Jacek Jakowski, the current benchmark is a first step towards a comprehensive suite of benchmarks and metrics that govern the performance of quantum processors for different science domains. It is expected to evolve with time as the quantum computing hardware improves.
