Discussion: Workshop on Benchmarking Quantum Computational Devices and Systems

Travis Humble, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, leads a group discussion with Quantum workshop attendees based on the following three questions: What can we learn from conventional methods? What are low-level topics and concerns for these devices? What are high-level topics and concerns for metrics and benchmarks of quantum computing?
