Description:
The project aims to classify high-performance quantum codes by developing and evaluating a suite of benchmarks based on the arithmetic and memory operations required for cryptographic applications. These benchmarks will provide a systematic way to compare different quantum error-correcting codes in terms of their computational efficiency and practicality for large-scale use. By focusing on performance metrics relevant to cryptographic workloads, the project will identify which codes best balance qubit efficiency with computational capability. The outcomes will support informed decisions on the suitability of emerging quantum codes for real-world applications and guide future directions in quantum computing and security research.
