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.

2 participants plus the QArena baseline on 8 × 8 grid, one emitter per photon (debug)

Record 31 emitter-emitter gates by aurora · QArena baseline 112 · Reference – (Debug instance, not compared with the capped versions) · What these mean
This is a debug instance for checking a pipeline end to end; its table is not a ranking.
8 × 8 grid, one emitter per photon (debug) (64 photons, at most 64 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.
