Standardized performance evaluation is crucial for tracking progress and identifying bottlenecks.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce Benchpress, a comprehensive benchmarking suite for quantum computing SDKs.
To provide a unified framework for evaluating performance and functionality.

Main Methods:

Developed a suite of over 1,000 tests for quantum circuit operations.
Included tests for circuits up to 930 qubits and O(10^6) two-qubit gates.
Created an execution framework for standardized testing across multiple SDKs.

Main Results:

Generated representative performance results for seven different quantum software packages.
Demonstrated Benchpress's capability to measure key performance metrics.
Highlighted the flexibility of the framework for ongoing evaluation.

Conclusions:

Benchpress offers a flexible and scalable solution for benchmarking quantum computing software.
The suite can keep pace with hardware improvements and predict future circuit processing costs.
Enables informed selection and development of quantum computing tools.
