KPI Sim 1: Performance
KPI observatory / Quantum Simulation
Distinct EU quantum simulators (services) that beat the best known algorithm on the best classical computer on at least one relevant real-life problem.
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.
Official values
| Year | Value (definition page 13) | Scorecard (page 5) |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 0 | 0 |
| 2022 | 0 | 0 |
| 2023 | 0 | 0 |
| 2024 | 0 | 0 |
| Progression per year | +1.5 | |
| 2030 target | 8 | 8 |

Remarks and method
- Current examples work only in principle; no real-life problem has been solved yet.
Method as stated: Booklet reference Simulation 1.
Trajectory (calculated by the portal)

Slower than needed
Slower than needed: recent pace 2021-2024: (0 - 0) / 3 = 0 a year; needed pace to 2030: (8 - 0) / 6 = 1.3 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.
