Record 8.32 × 10²¹ multiplications by aurora · QArena baseline 2.16 × 10²⁵ · Reference – (No comparable published value) · What these mean

Google 2024, 70 qubits, 16 cycles, 2^30 elements (70 qubits, 468 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.
