Fewest emitter-emitter gates for photonic graph states
Entangling gates between emitters are costly and error-prone, so needing fewer of them makes photonic resource states cheaper to produce.
Instance: Target graph and emitter limit
Record 2 emitter-emitter gates by qarena-baseline · QArena baseline 2 · Reference 2 (Proved optimum) · What these mean
2 × 3 grid (6 photons, at most 3 emitters). Fewer emitter-emitter gates (CX or CZ) rank first. Ties are ranked by fewer emitters, then submission number (lower first). Each participant appears once, with their best accepted submission. Scores are public; a participant can keep the file itself private.
| # | Participant | Score (emitter-emitter gates) | vs QArena baseline | Submissions | Last | Best submission |

Reference score: 2
Proved optimum, one gate cannot make this graph and the baseline uses 2, see the problem statement
