Standard for Quantum Computing Architecture

This standard defines a technical architecture for quantum computers. Features and characteristics of the architecture are based on quantum qubit modalities (e.g., superconducting, neutral atoms, trapped ions, photonic, NV centers), and mode of operations (e.g., digital and analog). The defined architectures include the hardware (e.g., signal generator), low-level software (e.g., quantum error correction) components, and programming method (description of quantum circuits, description of Hamiltonian evolution) of such architectures.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
