scpn-quantum-control — Differentiable external-validation technical report

Differentiable External-Validation Technical Report

This report defines the public comparison and reproducibility package for the differentiable-programming lane. It is a technical report, not a promotion claim. Every row remains bounded by the committed claim ledger until external comparison rows, the claim ledger, and isolated benchmark artefacts all pass.

Claim Boundary

Current evidence is functional_non_isolated unless an artefact explicitly says otherwise. The report does not claim production performance, quantum advantage, hardware execution, provider execution, QPU execution, GPU execution, or isolated_affinity benchmark status.

The public wording source is data/differentiable_phase_qnode/public_claim_table_20260616.md. The reviewer ledger is data/differentiable_phase_qnode/claim_ledger.md.

Reproducibility Package

Artefact Role Boundary
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/external_validation_artifact_bundle_20260616.json SHA-256 manifest over committed differentiable evidence files. Checksum provenance only.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/external_validation_environment_lock_20260616.json Exact runtime, developer, CI, framework-overlay, and Enzyme-runner lockfile manifest. Reviewer reproduction only.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/local_benchmark_20260616T0955Z/diff-qnode-external-comparison.json Bounded JAX, PyTorch, TensorFlow, PennyLane, and Enzyme comparison rows. Functional non-isolated comparison evidence.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/identical_circuit_gradient_comparison_20260616.json Same-circuit gradient comparison artefact for Qiskit and PennyLane routes. Correctness comparison, not hardware execution.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/domain_benchmark_dataset_closure_20260616.json Exact-answer domain dataset closure artefact. Dataset validation, not production benchmark promotion.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/differentiable_architecture_map_20260627.json Architecture and Rustification routing map over inventory rows and scorecard categories. Routing evidence only, not Rust or performance promotion.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/differentiable_dependency_environment_map_20260627.json Dependency and environment evidence map over runtime, development, CI matrix, framework overlay, and Enzyme runner lock profiles. Lockfile provenance only, not framework, Enzyme, hardware, or benchmark promotion.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/differentiable_isolated_benchmark_plan_20260627.json Reserved-host batch plan over current non-isolated differentiable benchmark/evidence artefacts. Planning evidence only, not benchmark execution or isolated_affinity promotion.
data/differentiable_phase_qnode/enzyme_mlir_maturity_audit_20260616.json Enzyme/MLIR maturity audit with MLIR-runtime correctness evidence, native Enzyme scalar evidence, and missing raw compiler-AD breadth artifact plus derived breadth evidence recorded as hard gaps. Partial breadth captures are represented through complete artifacts with explicit case hard gaps before promotion. Hard-gap evidence, not Enzyme parity promotion.

Provider Comparison Status

Provider family Current SCPN evidence Still blocked before promotion
JAX CPU overlay comparison rows and bounded bridge evidence exist for declared routes. Mature native arbitrary Phase-QNode lowering, broad transform algebra, and isolated benchmark artefacts.
PyTorch Bounded parameter-shift, custom autograd, torch.func, torch.compile, module/layer wrapper, and live-overlay evidence exist for declared routes. Promotion-grade isolated benchmark artefacts and arbitrary simulator/compiler lowering.
TensorFlow Bounded GradientTape, tf.function, XLA, and Keras-layer evidence exist for declared routes. Arbitrary Phase-QNode lowering and isolated benchmark artefacts.
PennyLane Export/import and identical-circuit comparison evidence exists for bounded local circuits. Plugin/provider hardware routes and promotion-grade isolated benchmark evidence.
Qiskit Shifted-circuit generation, local Statevector, finite-shot surrogate, and no-submit preparation evidence exist. Live execution, raw-count replay, calibration/statevector comparison, and hardware-gradient artefacts.
Enzyme/LLVM/MLIR MLIR-runtime correctness evidence is attached; the local enzyme, opt, mlir-opt, and clang command/version snapshot is recorded; a bounded native LLVM Enzyme scalar derivative probe passes. Raw Enzyme/MLIR compiler-AD breadth artifacts, derived arbitrary Enzyme/program AD breadth evidence, the Enzyme-JAX external-comparison runtime gap, and isolated benchmark IDs.

Reviewer Procedure

  1. Validate the public claim table before quoting differentiable capability language.
  2. Validate the environment lock before replaying framework comparisons.
  3. Validate the artefact bundle before using any evidence file in review.
  4. Treat local benchmark rows as regression and functional comparison evidence unless the artefact itself reports isolated_affinity.

The current package is therefore suitable for reviewer reproduction and gap triage. It is not yet suitable for state-of-art performance promotion.
