Currently available quantum devices suffer from significant noise and are limited in size which restricts their computational power. For this reason, quantum benchmarking, the task to judge and compare the usefulness of quantum hardware, is both important and nontrivial. Previously proposed benchmarking protocols and metrics however rely on heuristics or require strong assumptions on the behavior of the analyzed device. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to quantum benchmarking, inspired by quantum verification. As opposed to other benchmarking protocols, our proposal uses cryptographic tools to eliminate the reliance on heuristics and allow for provable statements about a device's computational power. It crucially offers scalability, customizability, and universality for quantum computation. Our work uncovers a deep connection between the fields of quantum verification and benchmarking. We give a concrete construction of a readily employable benchmarking protocol, and show that it achieves our improved standards for quantum benchmarking.
