Executive Summary
Introduction
We are seeing the hardware side of quantum technology reaching stability and maturity through the quarters of 2024—so the focus switches to quantum software development kits (SDKs), the software libraries that map quantum problems to quantum hardware. Obviously, more-efficient SDKs will get a quantum problem solved faster, so IBM created a benchmarking suite and put the leading quantum SDKs to the test. This Constellation Quark explains the need and the process for this and shares the results before concluding with some hands-on recommendations for CxOs.
