2025 Global Quantum Computing Cloud Platform Evaluation Report

Executive Summary

This report, independently compiled by ICV TA&K, presents a systematic evaluation of the technical performance, usability, and service capabilities of global quantum computing cloud platforms as of October 2025. The evaluation adheres to international standards including IEEE 1138-2022 Standard for Quantum Computing Performance Metrics and ISO/IEC 19790:2023 Information Technology—Quantum Computing—Vocabulary and Concepts, and adopts ICV TA&K’s proprietary scientific evaluation framework.

A total of 10 representative quantum computing cloud platforms were selected for assessment, including IBM Quantum Experience, Amazon Braket, Google Quantum AI, Microsoft Azure Quantum, D-Wave Leap, Xanadu Cloud, IQM Resonance, Quandela Cloud, Origin Quantum Cloud, and QuantumCTek Cloud. The evaluation covers five core dimensions with weighted scores: Quantum Hardware Resources (25%), Cloud Service Performance (40%), Software and Algorithm Ecosystem (15%), Usability (10%), and Security (10%).

Key Evaluation Findings

1. Market Stratification and Regional Competitive Landscape

The global quantum computing cloud platform market exhibits a clear tiered structure:

Tier 1 (≥80 points): Led by IBM Quantum Experience (93 points), followed by Microsoft Azure Quantum (85 points), Amazon Braket (84 points), and Google Quantum AI (81 points). These international leaders excel in hardware stability, service maturity, and ecosystem completeness. For instance, IBM Quantum Experience provides 156-qubit "Heron" processors and achieves a 4-qubit GHZ state fidelity of ~84%; Microsoft Azure Quantum integrates multi-vendor hardware (IonQ, Quantinuum) and maintains an enterprise-grade SLA (uptime ≥99.9%).
Tier 2 (70–79 points): Chinese platforms including QuantumCTek Cloud (74 points) and Origin Quantum Cloud (69.5 points) dominate this tier. They highlight strengths in localized security compliance (e.g., QuantumCTek’s MLPS 2.0 Level 3 certification) and large-qubit hardware (176-qubit "Zuchongzhi-class" processors) but lag in developer ecosystem depth and cross-platform interoperability.

2. Performance of Major Hardware Technology Routes

Technology Route	Representative Platforms	Core Advantages	Key Limitations
Superconducting	IBM Quantum Experience, QuantumCTek Cloud	High gate speed, mature integration	Requires ultra-low-temperature environment
Ion Trap	IonQ (via Braket/Azure)	Long coherence time (T2 ≈1000 μs), high fidelity	Difficulty in large-scale integration
Neutral Atom	Pasqal (via Azure/Google)	Room-temperature operation, high connectivity	Limited to specific optimization scenarios
Photonic	Xanadu Cloud, Quandela Cloud	Low noise, room-temperature operation	Weak general-purpose computing capability

3. Service Capabilities and Ecosystem Characteristics

International Platforms: Focus on user-centric ecosystems. IBM’s Qiskit has 600,000+ registered users and 3 trillion+ executed circuits; Amazon Braket offers transparent pay-as-you-go pricing ($0.25–$0.75/second) and free simulator access; Google’s Cirq integrates seamlessly with TensorFlow Quantum for AI research.
Chinese Platforms: Emphasize quantum-classical integration. China Telecom’s Tianyan Platform links 880 qubits with HPC resources, executing 1.6 million+ tasks by July 2025; Origin Quantum provides a full-stack system (QPanda SDK + 200-qubit simulator).

4. Industry Development Trends

The industry is shifting from "qubit count competition" to "practical utility validation":

Quantum-Classical Hybrid Computing: Adopted by 90% of platforms to mitigate quantum resource limitations (e.g., AWS Braket’s dynamic task scheduling).
Quantum+AI Integration: NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q accelerates error correction; Quantinuum’s GenQAI optimizes drug design; IBM’s Qiskit ML supports quantum classification tasks.
Security Enhancement: 70% of enterprise platforms integrate PQC and QKD (e.g., QuantumCTek’s SM2/SM3/SM4 encryption; IBM’s quantum-safe TLS).

Future Outlook

By 2027, competition will focus on three core areas:

Fault-Tolerant Logical Qubits: Major platforms aim for 200+ logical qubits (IBM’s 2029 target).
Cross-Platform Interoperability: Unifying SDK standards (Qiskit/Cirq/PennyLane) to reduce developer friction.
Industry Application Validation: Demonstrating quantum advantage in drug simulation, financial optimization, and new energy material design.

Regionally, North America leads in commercial ecosystems, Europe strengthens research alliances (EuroHPC’s MareNostrum-Ona annealer), and China advances independent technology stacks—forming a tripolar landscape.
