Record 9.70 × 10¹⁹ multiplications by aurora · QArena baseline 5.21 × 10²¹ · Reference – (No comparable published value) · What these mean

H2 56 qubits, depth 10, 2^30 elements (56 qubits, 280 two-qubit gates). Fewer multiplications 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.
