Quantum Supremacy Benchmarks for Near-Term Superconducting Processors

We present a comprehensive suite of benchmarking protocols designed specifically for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. By evaluating cross-entropy benchmarking alongside randomized compiling techniques on a 54-qubit superconducting processor, we establish a robust framework for verifying quantum advantage in specific combinatorial optimization tasks.

Our benchmarks include detailed noise characterization, error rate estimation, and circuit fidelity measurements. We compare results across multiple quantum hardware platforms and provide recommendations for optimal algorithm selection based on device characteristics.
