A qubit count is marketing. Error correction is the timeline.

Nuclir tracks quantum hardware the way an engineer would: logical qubits, error rates, and the published results behind them - not the announcements around them.

Physical qubits are a headline. Logical qubits are a capability.

Physical qubit counts are the number every announcement leads with and the one that predicts the least. What decides whether a machine can run a useful algorithm is how many logical qubits it can sustain, which depends on error rates, connectivity and the overhead of the correcting code - often a thousand physical qubits or more for one logical one.

That is why the field's real milestones are error-correction results rather than device sizes, and why a roadmap has to be read against published thresholds instead of press releases. Tracking it as engineering rather than as news is the entire difference between a timeline and a rumour.

Results, hardware and the supply chain underneath.

Nuclir resolves published results, device disclosures, patent activity and procurement into one record per programme, so a claimed roadmap can be read against what has actually been demonstrated and what has actually been bought. Dilution refrigerators, control electronics and specialist materials are a supply chain like any other, and it is observable in the same logistics record.

Every property keeps its source and its date, because in a field this contested a value without a citation is not usable. That is the same provenance rule the rest of the layer runs on, applied where it matters most.

Four signals that move a quantum timeline.

Each is sourced to a published result or a disclosed device rather than to an announcement, and each carries the date it was demonstrated.

Error correction

Demonstrated code distances and logical error rates - the results a roadmap has to be read against.

Logical qubits

Sustained logical qubit counts, which is the only figure that translates into a useful algorithm.

Hardware roadmaps

Device disclosures across modalities, tracked against what each programme has previously delivered on time.

Programme supply chain

Refrigeration, control electronics and specialist materials, which constrain build rate the way any other industry is constrained.

One timeline sets a deadline for everyone else.

A cryptographically relevant quantum computer is not a product launch, it is a date after which a large class of currently deployed encryption stops protecting anything. Every organisation holding long-lived secrets is implicitly betting on where that date falls, whether or not it has ever priced the bet.

That is why this page sits next to post-quantum encryption rather than in a research section. The engineering timeline is the input; the migration is the decision that has to be made ahead of it.

Evidence that keeps pace with the decision.

Evaluate Nuclir against the systems, markets, and decisions that matter to your organization. The result is current intelligence with the context needed to use it responsibly.
