• Abstract: We present an uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework for application level benchmarking and characterization of noisy quantum backends. The framework compares two workload classes under one statistical pipeline: noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) and Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) based Green's function reconstruction. For the VQA branch, we evaluate ten benchmark families spanning chemistry, optimization, simulation, compiling, linear solving, partial differential equations, metrology, error correction, tomography, and channel fidelity estimation. For the QSVT branch, we reconstruct orbital resolved Green's functions and spectral peaks from a block encoded real time propagator. The workflow combines Bayesian optimization, posterior distribution refinement, sensitivity analysis, robust parameter density estimation, backend ranking, noise correlation, and resource estimation analysis. Instead of reporting only one best parameter vector, the framework identifies robust parameter regions, residual gaps to ideal behavior, backend specific failure modes, and calibration sensitive uncertainty. The result is a common benchmark for variational and non-variational workloads that measures how reliably each backend reaches useful task level behavior.
