Record 54 stabilizer states by aurora · QArena baseline 60 · Reference 60 (Derived bound) · What these mean

11 copies of |√T⟩ (11 qubits). Fewer stabilizer states rank first. Equal counts are 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.
