JTC22 publishes its first standard: layered model for quantum computing

This month, the CEN and CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 22 (CEN-CLC/JTC 22) (est. 2023) has published its first standard: “Layer model of Quantum Computing”.

The document defines a layer model that covers the entire stack of universal gate-based quantum computers. The higher-up in the stack, the more agnostic it will be from underlying layers. Reducing the dependencies between higher and lower layers is a crucial point for optimized quantum computations. Highlighting commonalities between multiple physical systems such as transmon, spin-qubit, ion-trap, neutral-atom, and others, these imply a market for products usable for this wide range of quantum computing technologies.

The work was led by Delft Circuits, with written contributions from TNO, CINI, ParityQC, DLR, QDeepTech, Alice&Bob and Pasqal.

One can obtain a copy of the standard from their National Standards Body.
