This standard defines energy efficiency metrics for quantum computing (gate-based, quantum annealing, quantum simulation). It compares the performance of the computation to its energy consumption. The performance is defined at the quantum level and at the end user level. The definition applies to all Quantum Bit (qubit) technologies, including the classical and quantum control chains, to various quantum processors, both Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ)-era and fault-tolerant, as well as to quantum annealers and simulators.

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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
