The key performance indicators that the Strategic Advisory Board of the Quantum Flagship uses to follow quantum technologies in Europe: 25 indicators in six areas, some with parts, from 2021 to 2024 against the targets for 2030.
Each card shows the official 2024 value and the 2030 target as published, the trajectory this portal calculates from the official values, and a live measure from the data of the portal where one exists. Live measures are proxies with their own method and coverage; they never replace the official values.
Source: Key Performance Indicators for Quantum Technologies in Europe (Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, March 2025). The 2024 values were measured in early 2025 through surveys of SAB, QCB, QuIC and QUCATS members and verified and validated by the SAB (booklet page 2).
Live measures assembled on 2026-11-02 from the stored data of the portal. Pilot, pending editorial review.

The six areas are those of the KPI booklet, kept as published. The portal’s own technology pillars follow the draft SRIA 2026: Quantum Computing and Quantum Simulation below are the two parts of its computing and simulation pillar, and enabling technologies and the supply chain have no area of their own in the booklet. Why the portal uses four pillars
9 of 22 assessed indicators are on pace or have reached their 2030 target.
30 indicators and parts in total; 16 with a live measure of the portal. Status by the first measure of each indicator, calculated by this portal from the official values, not the colours of the booklet.

Live measure
No automatic measure. Products introduced on the basis of quantum simulation are not recorded by any source of the portal.

Quantum simulators in the infrastructure catalogue
2 simulators Quantum simulators inaugurated or in operation
Quantum simulators of the infrastructure catalogue that are inaugurated or in operation, with those planned shown apart.
Coverage: The source-verified infrastructure catalogue.

Documented quantum simulation use cases
1 use cases Documented quantum simulation use cases
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.

Slower than needed Recent pace +0.0 a year; needed +816.7 a year to 2030.
Live measure
No automatic measure. Qubit or particle counts of simulators are not recorded by the catalogue or the tracker.

The booklet marks each indicator with one of these four colours (page 4). The colours are not reproduced here; the booklet itself shows them. Some 2030 targets are still under discussion and shown as n/a; the targets of Communication 2b, Computing 2 and Simulation 3 and 4 are under review (booklet pages 3 and 20).
