Monium puts superconducting-qubit physics in your pocket — a mobile companion to the open-source scqubits library, built for researchers, students, and the quantum-curious. Pick a qubit, tune its parameters with live sliders, and watch the physics update in real time: • Energy spectrum vs. any swept parameter • Wavefunctions over the potential (and in the charge basis) • Matrix elements as a heatmap, and vs. the swept parameter • T1 / T2 coherence times per noise channel • Exact computed values behind every plot, as tables Supported qubits: Transmon, Tunable Transmon (SQUID), and Fluxonium. Built for real work: • Enter the Josephson energy the way you measure it — critical current, junction inductance, or room-temperature normal-state resistance (with a cryo/room ratio). • Save and reload presets per qubit. • Convergence indicators so you can trust the numbers. Everything runs on-device. No account, no ads, no tracking, no network — your work stays on your phone. Monium mirrors scqubits' conventions and is validated against it, so the numbers match the desktop tool you already trust.

About

GlassBox Dev

Features

CryptoKit hands you a final hash or ciphertext and hides everything in between. GLASSBOX rebuilds each algorithm by hand so every intermediate value is visible, tappable, and provably correct against Apple's real implementation — then lets an on-device AI try to crack it, winning on the weak and drowning on the strong. Honesty is a hard requirement. No screen ever fakes progress against strong crypto. Where AI or brute force cannot win, the app shows it failing and explains why. The hand-written teaching engine is checked byte-for-byte against Apple's real CryptoKit/Security output — if they ever disagree, a test fails. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Classical ciphers — Caesar, ROT13, Vigenère, XOR — with an on-device AI cracker that breaks them from ciphertext alone using real statistical cryptanalysis. • Modern families rebuilt by hand and verified against the real thing: AES-128, ChaCha20, DES; SHA-256/512, SHA-1, MD5; RSA, ECC, X25519. Scrub AES through its 10 rounds, step RSA one exponent bit at a time, watch SHA-256 churn its state. • The avalanche on camera: flip one input bit and about half the digest flips. • Crack, Tamper, and Breach labs — a dictionary attack cracks weak passwords instantly while a real, device-timed Argon2id shows why strong hashing takes centuries. • Labs of physics and math: a thermodynamic crack lab, a quantum threat layer (Shor/Grover verdicts + post-quantum survivors), an entropy forge that harvests real sensor noise, and Rosetta panels showing the same cipher in Swift, Python, and C++. • The AI, honestly: a hand-written deep net genuinely learns a reduced-round distinguisher — then genuinely fails at full strength, forever. The flat line is the exhibit. • Hermes — a persistent learner whose brain grows across sessions and syncs across your devices via iCloud. PRIVACY All cryptographic computation runs on your device; your inputs never leave it. The only network traffic is optional iCloud sync of the app's own learning data (in your private iCloud database) and anonymous crash/diagnostic reporting. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GlassBox Dev at Free against Monium's $3.99. Monium's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
