A volumetric framework for quantum computer benchmarks

We propose a very large family of benchmarks for probing the performance of quantum computers. We call them {volumetric benchmarks} (VBs) because they generalize IBM's benchmark for measuring quantum volume \cite{Cross18}. The quantum volume benchmark defines a family of {square} circuits whose...
