• Abstract: In this paper, we present QPack, a universal benchmark for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers based on Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithms (QAOA). Unlike other evaluation metrics in the field, this benchmark evaluates not only one, but multiple important aspects of quantum computing hardware: the maximum problem size a quantum computer can solve, the required runtime, as well as the achieved accuracy. The applications MaxCut, dominating set and traveling salesman are included to provide variation in resource requirements. This will allow for a diverse benchmark that promotes optimal design considerations, avoiding hardware implementations for specific applications. We also discuss the design aspects that are taken in consideration for the QPack benchmark, with critical quantum benchmark requirements in mind. An implementation is presented, providing practical metrics. QPack is presented as a hardware agnostic benchmark by making use of the XACC library. We demonstrate the application of the benchmark on various IBM machines, as well as a range of simulators.

  We quantify scaling of the expected resource requirements by optimized circuits for hardware architectures with varying levels of connectivity. We show the number of measurements, and hence total time to synthesizing solution, grows exponentially in problem size and problem graph degree. These problems may be alleviated by increasing hardware connectivity or by recently proposed modifications to the QAOA that achieve higher performance with fewer circuit layers.

  Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) have the potential of utilizing near-term quantum machines to gain certain computational advantages. Modern VQAs suffer from cumbersome computational overhead, hampered by the tradition of employing a solitary quantum processor to handle large data. Here we devise an efficient distributed optimization scheme, called QUDIO, to address this issue.
