About

Quantum Route Finder

Features
Read full description

Quantum Route Finder lets you run real quantum circuits on IBM's quantum computers directly from your iPhone β€” no simulator, no shortcuts. Your device builds the circuit, submits it to a 156-qubit IBM Quantum processor (Heron r2 generation), and visualizes the measurement results in real time. How it works The app uses a hybrid architecture: your iPhone acts as the controller, constructing OpenQASM circuits and sending them to IBM Quantum Cloud via the REST API. Quantum computation happens on the actual QPU hardware at IBM Research facilities. Everything else β€” UI, circuit building, result visualization β€” runs entirely on your device. IBM Quantum account required This app requires a free IBM Quantum account at quantum.cloud.ibm.com. The free Open Plan includes 10 minutes of QPU time per month. This limit is enforced by IBM, not this app. Once your monthly quota is used, jobs will be queued or rejected until the next month. No IBM affiliation β€” you must create and manage your own account. What you need IBM Cloud API key (free, from quantum.cloud.ibm.com) Instance CRN (from your IBM Quantum dashboard) Available backends ibm_kingston, ibm_fez, ibm_marrakesh (156-qubit Heron r2 processor

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.
