KPI Comp 1: Performance
KPI observatory / Quantum Computing
Distinct European quantum computing hardware stacks or services that show quantum advantage, beating a non-quantum system on the same problem in a purpose-made benchmark.
Official values: survey results of the Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, as published. Trajectory and live measure: calculations of this portal, not the assessment of the SAB.

Remarks and method
The booklet gives no remark for this indicator.
Method as stated: Consensus of the survey (booklet reference Computing 1).
Trajectory (calculated by the portal)
systems with quantum advantage
Slower than needed
Slower than needed: recent pace 2021-2024: (0 - 0) / 3 = 0 a year; needed pace to 2030: (3 - 0) / 6 = 0.5 a year; compound growth: recent n/a, needed n/a a year. Portal calculation, not the SAB assessment.
At the recent linear pace the value would be about 0 in 2030.
The booklet rates each indicator on its own four-level scale (ahead of schedule, on schedule, needs progress, behind schedule); that assessment is not reproduced here.

Live measure of the portal
No automatic measure. Quantum advantage needs benchmark results the portal does not hold.
