How it is measured
A French consortium of THALES, EVIDEN, CEA, CNRS, TERATEC and LNE builds application-oriented benchmarks with support from the MetriQs-France programme of the French national quantum strategy.
Limitations and criticisms
- The application families are described in the paper; this release did not verify them.
Used in European procurements
