Quantum sensing, the use of quantum systems to measure fields and forces, is a rapidly expanding field with broad applications, including for national security. One of the primary application areas for quantum sensors is in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), where devices including atomic clocks, quantum inertial sensors, atomic gravimeters, and quantum electromagnetic sensors may enable new capabilities for future PNT architectures, especially in GPS-denied or challenged environments.

This work introduces an open source suite of quantum application-oriented performance benchmarks that is designed to measure the effectiveness of quantum computing hardware at executing quantum applications.

Quantum computing (QC) is a technology with enormous potential, but for the moment, it is one only of potential. This report evaluates potential near-term QC applications as well as the prospect of using public-private partnerships (PPPs) to accelerate the time horizon for meaningful applications of quantum computing.

Quantum sensors are devices that leverage the quantum properties of a system to measure forces, fields, or time.
