Easily-accessible, high-quality datasets catalyze the development of new algorithms and the improvement of older ones. By offering access to impactful quantum data, we aim to help researchers skip costly classical simulations and reduce the time it takes to perform research. Additionally, this data serves as a platform of candidate problems to analyze quantum advantage in quantum algorithms for useful applications.
