KPI Sim 5: European technical leadership
KPI observatory / Quantum Simulation
Qubits or simulated particles of the most advanced non-gate-based quantum simulator in the EU27.
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
- Scorecard note e: qubits of the most advanced quantum simulator in the EU27.
Method as stated: PASQAL and MPQ-LMU Munich for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 values (booklet reference Simulation 5).
Trajectory (calculated by the portal)
qubits or particles
Slower than needed
Slower than needed: recent pace 2022-2024: (100 - 100) / 2 = 0 a year; needed pace to 2030: (5,000 - 100) / 6 = 816.7 a year; compound growth: recent +0.0%, needed +91.9% a year. Portal calculation, not the SAB assessment.
At the recent linear pace the value would be about 100 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. Qubit or particle counts of simulators are not recorded by the catalogue or the tracker.
