Attachment A ABSTRACT SUMMARY SLIDE TEMPLATE.pptx

This document contains an abstract summary slide template and details of a federal contract opportunity for quantum benchmarking from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The opportunity seeks innovative research proposals to quantify the long-term utility of quantum computers through either the creation of application-specific, hardware-agnostic benchmarks for quantum computer utility or hardware resource estimation for quantum computers. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Proposals should center around quantifying quantum computer utility and performance. The Defense Sciences Office at DARPA is soliciting these proposals to advance quantum computing technologies and assess their capabilities.
