Record 1.65 × 10²² multiplications by aurora · QArena baseline 1.13 × 10²³ · Reference – (No comparable published value) · What these mean

H2 56 qubits, depth 14, 2^42 elements (56 qubits, 392 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.
