About
Benchpress is a quantum benchmarking tool developed by IBM Research to evaluate quantum computing SDKs and stacks. Released in September 2024, it consists of over 1,000 tests that measure key performance metrics for operations on quantum circuits with up to 930 qubits and O(10^6) two-qubit gates. The suite evaluates quantum software development kits including Braket, BQSKit, Cirq, Qiskit, Qiskit Transpiler Service, Staq, and Tket. Described in a paper titled "Benchmarking the performance of quantum computing software," Benchpress addresses the need for systematic evaluation of quantum software tools. It provides standardized metrics for comparing quantum circuit creation, manipulation, and compilation performance across platforms. The open-source tool helps the quantum computing community make informed decisions about software stack selection.
