KPI Sim 4: Increase market adoption: use cases
KPI observatory / Quantum Simulation
Use cases relevant to industry or society realised on EU quantum simulators; use cases without quantum advantage yet count when there are clear arguments for advantage at scale.
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
- These indicators were recently defined; the 2030 target is under review (booklet notes, page 20).
Method as stated: Publication named in the booklet (reference Simulation 4).

Not assessed
Not assessed: The 2030 target is not set or under review.
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
A proxy calculated by the portal from its own data; it is not the official value and measures something related, not the same thing.

Data as of 2026-10-21. Assembled on 2026-11-02.
How it is calculated
Use cases of the adoption directory classified as quantum simulation, counted cumulatively by the year of their source.
Coverage: The source-verified use cases of the adoption directory.
Limitations:
- A curated selection; a documented case need not run on an EU quantum simulator.
