scpn-quantum-control — Hardware Status Ledger

Hardware Status Ledger

Result-pack integrity layer: promoted IBM raw-count datasets are now indexed in hardware_result_packs.md, with the canonical manifest at data/hardware_result_packs/manifest.json and an offline verifier at scripts/verify_hardware_result_packs.py. The result-pack layer preserves artefact integrity and claim boundaries; it does not broaden any claim in this ledger.

This page is the public index for hardware and simulator evidence. Summary pages may quote selected results, but every quoted campaign should point back here or to a campaign-specific artefact with backend, date, mitigation state, job count, and raw-data path.

README, docs/index.md, and docs/results.md should treat this dated snapshot as the source of truth for public status wording. If a campaign value changes, update this table first, then refresh the summary pages.

Claim Classes

Class Meaning Required evidence
Theory Analytic statement or theorem. Derivation, assumptions, and testable prediction.
Simulator Classical, tensor-network, statevector, or noisy simulator result. Script/notebook path, seed policy, package versions, and output artefact.
Hardware, unmitigated Raw QPU measurement without post-run mitigation beyond standard transpilation. Backend, public run labels, shots, circuit family, and raw counts.
Hardware, mitigated QPU result after mitigation such as ZNE, symmetry checks, or dynamical decoupling. Raw counts, mitigation parameters, and unmitigated comparator.
Falsification or noise-limited Negative or bounded result that constrains a claim. Same evidence as the corresponding simulator or hardware class.

Quarantined / Unpromoted IBM Artifacts

The April 2026 internal incident trail records placeholder and fake-count handling in frontier IBM workflows. Therefore the files below must not be used as public proof until they are independently re-retrieved or reproduced from raw IBM counts and promoted here.

Artifact family Current status Reason
results/ibm_hardware_v2_2026-03-29/ Unpromoted aggregate-only evidence. Contains public run labels and aggregate metrics, but lacks the raw-count private retrieval trail and reproduction harness required for a promoted claim.
results/ibm_hardware_2026-03-29/dla_parity_*.json Superseded / unpromoted. The audit identifies a circuit-depth artefact in this March DLA parity attempt; use the April data/phase1_dla_parity/ dataset instead.
results/ibm_runs/jobs.json and frontier queue outputs Quarantined. Internal logs document queued-job placeholders and fake all-zero fallback counts in related workflows.
Any "400 jobs", large-N frontier, multi-QPU, or live-loop claim Not promoted. Requires raw counts, private retrieval map, analysis script, and a new ledger row before citation.

Evidence Rules

  • Do not quote a numerical result unless the source artefact is named.
  • Do not mix simulator and hardware numbers in one table without the evidence class column.
  • Do not promote internal or pending campaign output into public claims until its raw counts, private retrieval map, and analysis script are committed.
  • If a later mitigation pass changes a conclusion, keep the older value as a historical row and add the newer value with its mitigation state.
  • Negative results stay in the ledger. They are evidence, not cleanup debt.

Current Gaps

  • docs/results.md remains a public gallery and technical summary. This ledger is the canonical status index; further result-page edits should keep detailed provenance here rather than duplicating claim-state decisions.
  • Later frontier batches must be added only after their raw artefacts, private retrieval maps, and analysis scripts are reviewed and committed.
  • Do not cite aggregate-only IBM JSON, queued-job JSON, or placeholder-derived results as hardware validation.
  • Exact repository-wide test counts belong in CI summaries or release notes. Public overview pages should describe the CI-gated suite and coverage target rather than carrying static counts that drift between commits.

Roadmap State — 2026-04-30

Queue State Next gate
High-impact execution TODO Complete locally. Dependency hygiene, core facade, documentation ergonomics, baselines, maintenance, frontier-track scaffolding, and CI timing-gate stabilization are checked off. Keep CI green on main; add only scoped follow-up work.
Scientific gaps Partially closed. The EEG PLV K_nm validation artefacts now cover the full 109-subject PhysioNet EEGMMIDB baseline eyes-open and eyes-closed cohorts, with a derived condition comparison. The first physical-unit measured-system control, IEEE 5-bus, is committed and does not close K_nm physical validation; broad quantum advantage remains open; p_h1 = 0.72 is an explicit open empirical/theoretical parameter. Additional physical-unit measured coupling candidates with null models; provenance-rich advantage benchmark tables; TCBO or first-principles p_h1 reproduction.
Hardware experiments March/April/May evidence is narrowed to legacy ibm_fez baseline artefacts, promoted raw-count ibm_kingston DLA Phase 1/2 datasets, and the promoted SCPN/FIM negative result. Further QPU work needs a preregistered manifest, depth/shot gates, QPU-time estimate, and explicit approval; no frontier promotion without raw-count review.
Strategic roadmap All 53 post-v1.0 differentiation tracks remain deferred / CEO-gated. Activate one track explicitly before implementation.

2026-05-03 Scientific-Gap Roadmap Progress

  • Gap A item 1 status: DONE — added a measured non-EEG physical-unit coupling candidate (IEEE 5-bus power grid) with uncertainty propagation and null-model comparison in the existing candidate control pipeline.
  • Gap A item 2 status: DONE — applied the measured-system comparison scan to all current candidate systems in data/public_application_benchmarks/{eeg_alpha_plv_8ch,friston_fep_6node,ieee5bus_power_grid,iter_mhd_8mode}.json with topology/magnitude/decision outputs and no closed candidate.
  • Gap A item 3 status: DONE — claim scope is constrained to condition-specific EEG PLV evidence for any closure that is not backed by a locked physical-unit magnitude match plus null-model pass.
  • Gap B item 1 status: DONE — scaling benchmark rows now carry backend, machine, command, dependency, and commit provenance in the committed run_scaling_benchmark and crossover-point loaders.
  • Gap B item 2 status: DONE — separate exact-simulation crossover from observable-level broad-advantage claims in the public benchmark wording.
  • Gap B item 3 status: DONE — ran the classical/Rust/GPU benchmark matrix for the quantum-advantage comparison and saved it as results/classical_rust_gpu_matrix_2026-05-03.json.
  • Gap B close-out review status: DONE 2026-05-05 — the validation readiness gate records the Phase 1 raw-count reproducer pass, a current-commit classical/Rust matrix smoke check, and the promotion rules for future broad-advantage or hardware claims.
  • Phase 2 preregistration status: DONE 2026-05-05docs/ibm_phase2_preregistered_manifest_2026-05-05.md and results/ibm_phase2_preregistration_2026-05-05.json record the QPU-minimised A+G first live command, dry-run circuit inventory, abort criteria, evidence path, and promotion gates.
  • 2026-05-05 live attempt status: ABORTED / CANCELLEDibm_kingston job ibm-run-ca8b9612732b84dc was cancelled after live hardware transpilation exceeded the reduced dry-run depth budget; IBM metadata reported 0 quantum seconds and 0 usage seconds. This job is quarantined and not evidence.
  • 2026-05-05 reduced A+G hardware run status: DONE / PROMOTEDibm_kingston jobs ibm-run-7da8644af35021fb and ibm-run-6f9990bba1d90a12 completed with 612 raw-count circuits. The committed reproducer reports Fisher chi2 140.671952, Fisher p 3.773718e-20, and 6/10 significant depths at p < 0.05.
  • 2026-05-05 B-C scaling run status: DONE / PROMOTED AS MIXEDibm_kingston job ibm-run-1f46ebd0da8912ff completed with 280 raw-count circuits and IBM-reported usage 305 quantum seconds. The committed reproducer reports n=6 Fisher p 1.883218e-07 with negative significant depths and n=8 Fisher p 2.675193e-04 with positive middle-depth sign.
  • Phase 2 publication package status: DONE / PROMOTEDdocs/publication_phase2_package_2026-05-05.md records the promoted A+G, B-C, and popcount-control artefacts plus conservative claim boundaries.

EEG Condition Comparison — 2026-04-30

The K_nm physical-validation data now includes a matched 109-subject PhysioNet EEGMMIDB baseline eyes-closed cohort (S001R02 through S109R02) and a derived eyes-closed-minus-eyes-open comparison artefact.

Metric Value Source
Eyes-open mean edge PLV 0.545586 data/knm_physical_validation/baseline_open_closed_comparison.json
Eyes-closed mean edge PLV 0.600050 data/knm_physical_validation/baseline_open_closed_comparison.json

EEG PLV versus eight-layer K_nm Pearson 0.715303 data/knm_physical_validation/eeg_alpha_plv_knm_comparison.json

This closes the condition-control EEG PLV comparison gate. It does not close the physical-unit measured-coupling gate: PLV is an association observable, and the measured-system promotion audit now blocks phase_locking_value units from promotion as calibrated K_nm magnitudes. Public claims must continue to describe this as condition-specific alpha-band EEG coupling evidence rather than measured physical K_nm magnitudes.

Measured-System Control — 2026-04-30

The first physical-unit measured-system artefact is the IEEE 5-bus power-grid swing-equation coupling matrix. It records raw public benchmark constants, conversion units, and propagated input-rounding uncertainty.

Edge-value null RMSE empirical p 0.254577 data/knm_physical_validation/power_grid_ieee5bus_knm_comparison.json

Decision: this is a useful measured-system control and a negative result for the exact-magnitude K_nm promotion gate. It also does not beat the node-label or edge-value permutation null gates, and the spectral/critical-response diagnostics do not rescue the match. Physical validation remains open until a measured-system candidate with units, uncertainty, and preregistered null models passes the promotion criteria.

Measured-System Control Expansion — 2026-05-18

The physical-unit candidate set now also includes the IEEE 14-bus public benchmark as a voltage-weighted branch-admittance control. The artefact records the public branch reactances, solved voltage magnitudes, derived K_ij = V_i V_j / X_ij matrix, and propagated input-rounding uncertainty for all 91 pairwise bus edges.

Edge-value null Spearman empirical p 0.000244 data/knm_physical_validation/power_grid_ieee14bus_knm_comparison.json

Decision: this expands the measured-system candidate inventory, but it does not close physical K_nm validation. Public case14 supplies branch reactances and voltage magnitudes, not measured per-bus inertia constants for every load bus, so the artefact is a non-promotional control candidate unless a future gate adds the missing dynamic-system measurements and passes the null-model, uncertainty, magnitude, and critical-response checks.
