Abstract

Quantum computing (QC) is a new and disruptive technology with large economic potential especially in application and downstream value creation stages. Hence, it is important for an economy to understand the current implementation state and to know the ecosystem to support the successful industrial application of this technology. Regularly identifying potential areas of improvement and then defining appropriate actions is necessary to ensure a leading position. Therefore, the Quantum Technology and Application Consortium (QUTAC) has developed a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) framework consisting of 24 KPIs that represent a country’s performance in applying QC. Detailed measurement guidelines and clear data sources ensure transparency of measurement, reproducibility of KPI values and comparability over time. An aggregation method allows summarizing the results of all KPIs. Thus, it is possible to assess the performance of each stakeholder involved and to calculate a single composite indicator that represents the country’s performance. The KPI framework can be adapted to any country and enables the comparison of the performance of different countries. It is a proposal for standardizing the evaluation of QC and its ecosystem on a national level. Thus, strengths and weaknesses can be identified and measurements for improvement derived. The paper highlights the development of the framework, its main features and the application of the framework to Germany. Based on the results, we will discuss the current state of QC application in Germany and make possible suggestions for improvement.

量子计算应用进展的标准化衡量指标框架
量子计算(QC)是一项全新的颠覆性技术,具有巨大的经济潜力,尤其是在应用和下游价值创造阶段。因此,对于一个经济体来说,重要的是了解当前的实施状态,并了解支持该技术成功工业应用的生态系统。要确保领先地位,就必须定期确定潜在的改进领域,然后确定适当的行动。因此,量子技术与应用联盟(QUTAC)制定了一个关键绩效指标(KPI)框架,由 24 个关键绩效指标组成,代表了一个国家在应用 QC 方面的绩效。详细的衡量准则和明确的数据来源确保了衡量的透明度、关键绩效指标值的可重复性和时间上的可比性。通过汇总方法可以总结所有关键绩效指标的结果。因此,可以评估每个相关利益方的绩效,并计算出代表国家绩效的单一综合指标。关键绩效指标框架可适用于任何国家,并可对不同国家的绩效进行比较。它建议在国家层面对质量控制及其生态系统进行标准化评估。因此,可以找出优缺点并制定改进措施。本文重点介绍了该框架的发展、主要特点以及该框架在德国的应用。在此基础上,我们将讨论德国质量控制应用的现状,并提出可能的改进建议。
