The Quantum Benchmarking Program Will Create New Benchmarks That Quantitatively Measure Progress Towards Specific, Transformational Computational Challenges. in Parallel, the Program Will Estimate the Hardware-specific Resources Required to Achieve Different Levels of Benchmark Performance. the Benchmarks Will Be Hardware Agnostic. This Is Essential for Benchmarks That Are Focused on Measuring Utility, Since a Novel Classical Solution to an Urgent Problem Is Just as Valuable as a Novel Quantum Solution to an Urgent Problem. However, Work in This Program Will Focus on Creating Hardware Agnostic Benchmarks for Problems Where Quantum Approaches Are Most Likely to Be Needed. the Quantum Benchmarking Program Will Quantify the Long-term Utility of Quantum Computers by Solving a Series of Hard Problems

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
