QPUCostPilot

QPUCostPilot is a web app (with optional CLI) that estimates the real-world cost, queue time, and success probability of running a quantum workload on major cloud quantum providers before you submit it. You upload a circuit (QASM/QIR) or select a template algorithm, choose target hardware, and the app simulates compilation effects (qubit mapping, depth inflation, shots) to forecast runtime, expected error rates, and total spend. It also flags “silent killers” like connectivity constraints, calibration volatility, and shot requirements that make a job unexpectedly expensive or useless. This is a traditional app with AI-assisted recommendations: an LLM explains tradeoffs and suggests cheaper alternatives (e.g., different ansatz, error mitigation settings, or switching to a simulator). The goal is not hype—it’s budgeting and decision support for teams wasting money on trial-and-error quantum runs.
