Record 4.12 × 10²⁴ multiplications by aurora · QArena baseline 3.88 × 10²⁶ · Reference – (No comparable published value) · What these mean

H2 56 qubits, depth 20, 2^48 elements (56 qubits, 560 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.
