This is the information page for the 1+ hour Quantum Computing Benchmarking Working Group (QCB-WG) P7131 meeting with guest invitations to people in other quantum standards activities (i. e. the Quantum Groups Linkup). The meeting is Tuesday, May 10, 2022 9 AM U. S. Eastern Daylight time via Zoom.
The plan is to have a P7131 business meeting in the first 15 minutes, including determination of quorum, etc. People not part of P7131 can join 15 minutes into the meeting when Silona Bonewald will start a presentation on IEEE SA’s open source capability. You may leave after one hour, but we will keep the Zoom going for up to a second hour for discussion.
This meeting is open to all that are interested. All you need to attend is the Zoom connection information that appears at the bottom of this page. However, we will take attendance in accordance with IEEE-SA’s policies.
Agenda:
9:00 AM EDT: Call to order
9:00 AM EDT: Establish voting membership
9:02 AM EDT: Call for changes to this this draft agenda, followed by approval
9:05 AM EDT: IEEE-SA policies
9:15 AM EDT: Presentation on IEEE SA OPEN by Silona Bonewald. IEEE’s open source capability is based on familiar software products but with a unique governance process that allows it to integrate into standards. For example, quantum standards could include a traditional English document and a reference software implementation hosted by SA OPEN. IEEE’s unique processes would require final reference implementations to be approved by ballot
10:00 AM EDT: Meeting officially adjourns
10:00 AM EDT: Discussion continues
11:00 AM EDT: Must end by this time
This webpage https://sagroups.ieee.org/7131/qcb-wg-qgl-10may22/ is expected to be maintained, so check back
