Rosetta Quantum Index
Rosetta Quantum Index · the metre of quantum

All of quantum, measured in RosettaQ.

Every computer, provider and service in the industry — today scattered across incompatible metrics (Quantum Volume, #AQ, CLOPS…) — consolidated in one place, on one neutral scale: ours.

Why we get to be the scale

IBM defined Quantum Volume; IonQ, #AQ — every vendor wins on its own metric. RosettaQ is neutral and its formula is public: anyone can recompute it. We sell no hardware, so we can be the metre.

The RosettaQ column is the only one comparable across modalities. No system in the example crosses 100 RQ — consistent with reality: nobody beats classical yet. That “not yet” is the number no one else publishes.

The distance to 100 is the answer the buyer is after.

Does it work? (is it past 100?). By how much? (the distance to 100). When? (at what size the curve crosses 100). One unit, three questions.
