Microsoft Azure Quantum

Microsoft Quantum Resource Estimator

Open-source post-layout physical resource estimator for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. Compute qubit counts, T-state counts, runtime, and code-distance requirements across configurable qubit physical parameters, QEC schemes, and error budgets. Ships inside the QDK and runs locally or as an Azure Quantum target.
