Quantum Expectations estimates what current and near-term quantum hardware can run. Every tool is a deterministic, read-only computation over primary-sourced data and returns primitives, never a verdict: the conclusion is yours to draw and to caveat.
Start with compute_expectation (one circuit on one device or error rate), compute_required_error_rate (the inverse: what hardware a circuit needs) or compare_hardware_scenarios (every platform in one call). compute_fault_tolerant_resources sizes a full surface-code footprint from logical qubits and T count. fit_historic_series extrapolates record…

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
list_qldpc_codes reads open 20h ago
Return the catalog of supported qLDPC (quantum low-density parity-check) error-correction codes (id, label, family, n, k, d, circuitLevelDistance, ancilla counts, roundsPerLogicalOp, threshold, fitCoefficients {c0, c1, c2}, logicalErrorExponent [alpha = d_circ/2], source URLs, provenance, caveats). The per-block, per-syndrome-cycle logical error rate is p^alpha * exp(c0 + c1*p + c2*p^2) for p <= threshold (the source paper's own fitting form; c1 = c2 = 0 means a plain power law). `provenance` names the table or section each constant was read from. `caveats` is an array of source-level qualifications on the entry's constants (loose distance bounds, values a source marks as assumed, numbers that differ between sources); empty when the sources carry none. Read it before quoting a code's logical error rate as firm. Use a code's `id` as the `errorCorrectionCode` input to `compute_expectation`.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": {} }arguments 5 lineslist_quops_scores reads open 20h ago
Return the measured QUOPS (quantum universal operation performance system, a cross-platform capability benchmark) scores (arXiv:2609.12146): per device, the largest random universal circuit size executed at polarization >= 1/sqrt(e) inside the cone w^2 <= s <= w^3, with width, QUOPS rate, architecture (physical, physical-postselected, logical) and source URL, plus the utility-scale targets in the same unit (RSA-2048 and FeMoco). These are measurements, the yardstick the site's own model is checked against: compare them with modelCapability.quopsEquivalent on the compute_expectation hardware context. Vendor and device names appear here because this table is agent-facing only.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": {} }arguments 5 linesget_agent_brief reads open 5m ago
Return the plain-text site brief describing scope, assumptions, the honesty clause, and the API contract. Mirrors the /agent.txt document served by the website.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": {} }arguments 5 lineslist_hardware_timings reads open 5m ago
Return per-platform gate-cycle timings (2Q gate time, readout time, in SI seconds) plus the testbed they were measured on (`representativeDevice`) and the native 2Q gate name, with source URLs. Joins list_current_quantum_computers via `hardwareType`, but the numbers are BEST-CASE DEMONSTRATIONS from small testbeds, not measurements on the joined devices, which run their gates and array readout orders of magnitude slower. Use for ratio analysis or as optimistic lower-bound inputs to runtime estimates and compute_quantum_volume_rate, and say so when you quote a runtime.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": {} }arguments 5 lineslist_example_algorithms reads open 5m ago
Return the curated list of example quantum algorithms with published resource estimates (qubit count, depth/gate count, source paper URL). Useful for comparing what algorithms need vs. what hardware can deliver. Each entry carries a `provenance` field: 'published-circuit' means the figure is reproducible from the source, 'attested-estimate' means the source withholds the circuit and the figure rests on the authors' attestation, with a `provenanceNote` giving the specifics. Carry that caveat whenever you quote an attested figure; do not present it as equivalently sourced.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": {} }arguments 5 linescompare_hardware_scenarios reads unknown 20h ago
Run the same circuit against multiple current SOTA hardware entries in one call so an agent can rank platforms without N sequential compute_expectation calls. Defaults to every entry in list_current_quantum_computers when hardwareIds is omitted.

Fit a log-linear trend (ln(value) = slope * year + intercept) to one historic series — fidelity or qubit-count — for one hardware type. Atomic primitive: compose with list_current_quantum_computers, compute_required_error_rate, or your own modelling to answer "when might hardware reach X?". residualStdDev is the BIASED (maximum-likelihood) RMS — divides by n, not (n - 2); on small series (n ≈ 3–5) inflate by √(n / (n - 2)) before building confidence intervals.

Return the full historic time series — either two-qubit gate error rates ("fidelity") or physical qubit counts ("qubit-count") — broken down by hardware type. Each datapoint carries a source URL. Use this to extrapolate trends — "when might hardware reach X?" — or pair with fit_historic_series for a log-linear fit on one hardware type.

Inverse of compute_expectation. Given a circuit (numQubits, compDepth) and an acceptable effective error rate, return the required per-gate logical error rate (requiredLogicalErrorRatePerGate: a number, or null only when the target is genuinely unreachable; never 0) and, for every EC option (no-EC, surface-code per distance, every qLDPC code), the required physical error rate plus the subset of current SOTA hardware that already qualifies. An option whose inverse lands above the code threshold is capped at min(MAX_P, threshold) and carries a `note` (any sub-threshold p satisfies it); `unreachableReason` is reserved for genuinely unreachable options. Answers "what hardware do I need to run this algorithm?".

Return the representative-entry table of current SOTA quantum computers (id, hardware type, physical qubit count, 2-qubit error rate, connectivity class with a note on the coupling graph, source URL). Same data that powers the website's "Current Quantum Computers" table. For the model's capability prediction per entry in QUOPS units, read hardwareContext.currentQuantumComputers[].modelCapability from compute_expectation; for measured scores, list_quops_scores.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "properties": {} }arguments 5 linescompute_quantum_volume_rate reads unknown never probed
Compute the Quantum Volume Rate (QV/second): QVR = V_Q / (log2(V_Q) * t_2Q + t_meas). First-order estimate of how fast a device prepares one QV-sized square circuit (one native 2Q gate per QV layer + one end-of-circuit measurement). OVERSTATES achievable rate: real compilation inflates the 2Q-gate count per layer; omits reset/SPAM, mid-circuit measurement, and classical-control latency. For a production throughput metric, see IBM's CLOPS (arXiv:2110.14108).

Given a quantum circuit (2-qubit error rate p, qubit count n, depth d, optional connectivity class), compute the effective error rate, success probability, and optional surface-code or qLDPC overhead. Without error correction a 2d-lattice connectivity is charged as a routing multiplier on depth (result.routingOverheadFactor); hardwareId supplies the device's class automatically. The response is self-describing (formulas, assumptions, caveats, glossary, SOTA hardware, historic series with source URLs) so an agent can reason from one call. For the inverse ("what hardware do I need?") use compute_required_error_rate; to rank multiple platforms in one call use compare_hardware_scenarios.

Given an algorithm stated as (numLogicalQubits, tCount) and a physical error rate (or hardwareId), derive the full surface-code + magic-state-distillation footprint from the general laws of the Litinski lattice-surgery cost model (no per-scenario constants): distillation factory choice, tile layout, required code distance, total physical qubits, and wall-clock time. Results are reported under TWO published logical-error fits (conservative + optimistic) because they disagree by 13-268x (d=7 to d=25) - always state both. Returns an explicit `infeasible` block when no cataloged factory or code distance can satisfy the error budget. Computes numbers only: comparing against classical alternatives and concluding "should this run on a quantum computer" stays with you, the calling agent (state the caveats when you do).

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's id460b6515a344eea7.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
