Researchers have introduced QCalEval, a new benchmark designed to assess how well vision-language models (VLMs) can interpret quantum computing calibration plots. The benchmark includes 243 samples across various quantum computing experiment types and is evaluated using both zero-shot and in-context learning methods. Initial results show that while frontier closed-source models perform well, many open-weight models struggle with multi-image in-context learning, and supervised fine-tuning alone does not fully bridge this gap.
