论文摘要
我们提出了一种标准化方法，用于开发和评估量子计算机和量子启发方法的用例。该方法由一组标准化的问题组成，应要求这些问题确定近期量子计算可以在给定应用中发挥作用。制定此类问题很重要，因为它允许以公平和客观的方式对不同的用例进行评估，而不是在临时考虑每个案例的基础上，这可能会导致评估，该评估侧重于用例的阳性，而忽略了弱点。为了证明我们的方法论，我们将其应用于具体用例，救护车调度，并发现可以明智地部署近任期量子计算的某些方法，但也证明了某些案例不建议使用其使用。本文的目的是在量子计算科学家和潜在的最终用户的社区中发起对话，以在开发现实世界用例时应提出哪些问题。
We propose a standardized methodology for developing and evaluating use cases for quantum computers and quantum inspired methods. This methodology consists of a standardized set of questions which should be asked to determine how and indeed if, near term quantum computing can play a role in a given application. Developing such a set of questions is important because it allows different use cases to be evaluated in a fair and objective way, rather than considering each case on an ad hoc basis which could lead to an evaluation which focuses on positives of a use case, while ignoring weaknesses. To demonstrate our methodology we apply it to a concrete use case, ambulance dispatch, and find that there are some ways in which near term quantum computing could be deployed sensibly, but also demonstrate some cases ways in which its use would not be advised. The purpose of this paper is to initiate a dialogue within the community of quantum computing scientists and potential end users on what questions should be asked when developing real world use cases.
