Proof-of-value: generalizing the evaluation of several quantum processors (QPUs)

The most advanced quantum computers have already gone beyond the proof-of-concept stage—but that doesn’t mean they are ready for practical use cases. We have entered the performance evaluation era, where the goal is to measure the gap between the current state-of-the-art and quantum utility (QU).
