Record 2.12 × 10²³ multiplications by aurora · QArena baseline 4.62 × 10²⁴ · Reference – (No comparable published value) · What these mean

H2 56 qubits, depth 18, 2^48 elements (56 qubits, 504 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.
