Fewest Pauli measurement settings that cover every 3- or 4-qubit observable
Estimating every low-weight Pauli observable of a many-qubit device (overlapping tomography) needs product measurement settings that cover every pattern on every small set of qubits, and each setting is a separate device configuration.
Instance: Qubits and strength (size of the qubit sets to cover)
Record 81 settings by qarena-baseline · QArena baseline 81 · Reference 81 (Proved optimum) · What these mean
This is a debug instance for checking a pipeline end to end; its table is not a ranking.
5 qubits, strength 4 (debug) (every observable on 4 of 5 qubits; at most 1,024 settings; debug instance). Fewer settings rank first. Equal counts are tied and ranked by submission number (lower first). Each participant appears once, with their best accepted submission. Scores are public; a participant can keep the file itself private.
