FTCircuitBench: A Benchmark Suite for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Compilation and Architecture
A new preprint introduces FTCircuitBench, a benchmark suite for evaluating compilation and optimization of logical circuits under quantum error correction. The authors frame fault-tolerant logical compilation as a distinct problem from NISQ-era circuit optimization, with its own constraints and operational assumptions. The abstract does not detail the specific benchmarks or metrics included.

FTCircuitBench could enable direct, comparable evaluation of fault-tolerant compilation strategies across different QEC codes and architectures within the next two years, helping research groups converge on practical logical compilation defaults before full-scale machines are built.
Existing NISQ benchmark suites shaped compiler development by giving researchers a shared target. This suite targets a gap as early logical qubit demonstrators emerge, but its usefulness depends on adoption by groups working on fault-tolerant architectures.
