Quantum progress dashboard

How the field is moving — hardware ships, research volume, and vendor roadmap targets, in one view.

Qubit counts across modalities measure different things: a 1180-atom neutral-atom device and a 156-qubit superconducting chip are NOT directly comparable. Read the trends per lane, not as a cross-vendor ranking.

Physical qubits shipped, by modality

Each point is a vendor-announced processor with its physical-qubit count on the day it was published. Log-scale y so single-digit topological chips and thousand-atom neutral-atom devices both stay readable.

82 events — extraction started Oct 4, 2026. Rows are LLM-extracted from the quantum-tagged news corpus and link to their article. The same round reported by several outlets is shown once, with the number of reports beside it. Totals describe what the corpus caught, not the market. Rows marked low confidence are extractions worth checking.

Quantum applications — algorithm benchmarks

The QED-C reference circuits — algorithm-oriented benchmarks any backend can run on the same program. QED-C ships the harness (Apache-2.0); the hardware runs come from the Unitary Foundation's metriq-data dataset (CC BY 4.0), collected with metriq-gym. Ranked only where devices ran the same circuit at the same widths.

QED-C circuits on real hardware — QFT fidelity by device

One row per device: its most recent Quantum Fourier Transform run from the QED-C suite, swept over 4, 8 and 12 qubits (3 circuits per width, 1000 shots, no error mitigation), as published in metriq-data. Fidelity 0–1, mean across the sweep. Higher is better.

Higher is better · QFT fidelity

† Mean of three single-width runs (4, 8, 12 qubits) uploaded on the same day instead of one sweep run; same formula metriq-gym applies to a sweep.

Only runs that match this one protocol are ranked. Runs at other widths or with error mitigation are left out rather than compared. Other QED-C circuits (Bernstein–Vazirani, Hidden Shift, Phase Estimation) have no published hardware runs yet.

Quantum research — advantage submissions

Ingested from the Quantum Advantage Tracker (Apache-2.0) — a community catalogue of quantum-advantage claims across three pathways. Cross-instance comparisons are NOT meaningful and we honour that: submissions are grouped by instance, no interleaved global ranking. Each row links back to its GitHub issue for full provenance (runtime, compute resources, methods).

Quantum vs classical runtime

Each point is one CVP or VP submission that reports both wall-clock runtimes. Log-log axes; the dashed line is the y=x tie. Points below the line resolved the instance faster with quantum + classical compute than a purely classical baseline.

CVPVPy = x (tie)

Top contributing institutions

Submissions per institution, stacked by pathway. Multi-institution credits count each institution once. Top 10 by total.

CVPOEVPsubmissions

Cumulative submissions over time

Running total of accepted submissions per pathway. The Quantum Advantage Tracker started accepting submissions in 2025.

Classically-Verifiable Problems (CVP)

Problems whose answers can be checked classically. Value = percent of the target checked correctly.

About the metrics used above

Quantum hardware — capability metrics

Logical qubits

What it measures: Number of error-corrected qubits a system has demonstrated, after decoding physical qubits into fault-tolerant logical ones.
Why it matters: The post-error-correction scale metric. Physical qubit counts are misleading on their own; logical qubits are what algorithms actually run on.

Quantum Volume (QV)

What it measures: IBM's system-level capability metric — a single number combining qubit count, connectivity, gate fidelity, and coherence.
Why it matters: The longest-running cross-vendor capability headline. Higher QV means the machine can run wider, deeper circuits before noise dominates.

CLOPS (Circuit Layer Operations Per Second)

What it measures: IBM's speed benchmark — sustained circuit layers per second while running parameterised model circuits at a fixed QV.
Why it matters: Throughput axis paired with QV. Two machines at the same QV can differ 10× in CLOPS — matters for anything variational.

Two-qubit gate fidelity

What it measures: Success rate of a single two-qubit entangling gate, typically reported as a percentage or per-gate error rate.
Why it matters: The fidelity axis every modality argues over. Sets the threshold for whether error correction can even reach break-even.

Quantum applications — algorithm benchmarks

QED-C application-oriented suite

What it measures: A collection of algorithm-primitive reference circuits (Hidden Shift, Bernstein–Vazirani, QFT, phase estimation, amplitude estimation) run across qubit widths to produce a volumetric positioning plot per backend.
Why it matters: The most widely-cited cross-vendor framework for comparing quantum hardware on real algorithm shapes rather than synthetic capability numbers.

Bernstein–Vazirani

What it measures: Recovery of a hidden bit-string with a single quantum query — scaled to arbitrary qubit widths as a discrimination test.
Why it matters: One of the cleanest 'is my hardware running the intended circuit, or just noise?' checks — the ideal success rate is 100%.

Quantum Fourier transform

What it measures: Fidelity of running a QFT circuit at a given width — the subroutine underlying Shor's algorithm and phase estimation.
Why it matters: A stress test for gate-depth budgets and connectivity; degrades sharply once decoherence exceeds circuit depth.

Quantum phase estimation

What it measures: Accuracy of estimating an operator's eigenphase — the core primitive for eigenvalue-finding applications.
Why it matters: The primitive behind chemistry, materials, and cryptanalysis workloads — a good proxy for real utility beyond toy circuits.

Amplitude estimation

What it measures: Accuracy of estimating a marked-state amplitude — the quadratic speed-up primitive for Monte Carlo-style workloads.
Why it matters: Underlies the finance / pricing / risk applications quantum vendors most often name in commercial pitches.

Quantum reference sources

Editorial rankings and benchmark catalogues we link to but do not republish. No scores, no ranks — just where to go for each vendor's numbers.

Quantum Zeitgeist — Logical Qubit Leaderboard

Quantum hardware

What it measures: Verified logical-qubit counts across quantum hardware vendors, updated as new milestones are announced.
When to consult it: Tracking who is furthest along on error-corrected logical qubits — the emerging cross-vendor capability metric.

Quantum Zeitgeist — Top Hardware by Modality

Quantum hardware

What it measures: Vendor rankings organised by hardware modality (superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, photonic).
When to consult it: Seeing which vendors lead within each qubit technology, not just overall.

EntangledFuture — Largest Quantum Computers

Quantum hardware

What it measures: Rankings of the largest deployed quantum systems by physical qubit count and system class.
When to consult it: A quick sense of the raw scale side of the field before drilling into fidelity or logical-qubit numbers.

Quantum Benchmark Zoo

Quantum apps

What it measures: Catalogue of quantum benchmarks (Quantum Volume, CLOPS, application suites) with per-benchmark definitions and links to sources.
When to consult it: Learning which benchmark measures what before comparing vendor claims.

MIT QIR — Processor Benchmarking

Quantum hardware

What it measures: Academic-flavoured processor benchmarking write-ups and comparisons from the MIT Quantum Index Report.
When to consult it: Deeper context on how independent researchers evaluate quantum processors.

CritPt — [[4,2,2]] QEC benchmark

Quantum apps

What it measures: Targeted [[4,2,2]] error-correction benchmark from the CritPt suite — 11 models compared on one canonical QEC problem.
When to consult it: A single-problem sanity check on QEC handling. Small enough to inspect end-to-end, complementary to the broader Quantum Advantage Tracker ingest.
