CRQC Readiness Benchmark (Q-Day Estimator)

Use the CRQC Readiness Benchmark (Q‑Day Estimator) to turn assumptions into a defensible, crypto‑specific forecast. The tool converts four inputs, LQC (logical qubits), LOB (logical operations budget), QOT (logical ops/sec), and an annual growth factor, into a Composite CRQC Readiness Score and a projected “Q‑Day” (when week‑scale factoring of RSA‑2048 becomes practical). Start with Conservative / Median / Aggressive presets, then tweak to match vendor claims or your own view of roadmaps and error‑correction progress. This is intentionally focused on cryptographic breakability, not generic “quantum advantage,” so it may diverge from headline qubit counts.

CRQC Readiness Benchmark (Q-Day Estimator)

An interactive way to explore how close we may be to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) for breaking RSA-2048. Adjust assumptions below to see how the projected Q‑Day shifts. Methodology & discussion. Disclaimer: this tool is for experimentation and scenario analysis only.

Scenarios: Load a starting scenario, then tweak parameters to explore.
Count of error-corrected (logical) qubits available.
x
Reliable logical operations available (circuit depth).
x
Logical operations per second (throughput).
Annual capability multiplier for the composite score.
Advanced formula (optional)
Composite CRQC Readiness Score
0.00
Projected Q-Day
Projected CRQC Readiness score over time
Score 1.0 ≈ quantum capability to factor RSA-2048 in about one week. Adjust inputs and formula to explore scenarios. Estimates are illustrative only.
