Comparable benchmarks (not competition)

Workloads where QPC reports the same objective number as an external reference—published paper, classical baseline, or inequality bound—with auditable IBM (or other) job IDs.

D-Wave “Proof of Quantum Work” blockchain (Leap demo) is not on this list: it measures quantum-hash consensus on annealers, not folding energy, QUBO cost, or ICC. Different subject—results are not comparable rows.

Ready now — objective & comparable

Real-world replication — highlighted

Published industry-style business tasks replayed on IBM Heron gate QPUs with QPC polycontextural architecture. Same metrics as external studies; auditable job IDs.

Architecture program (June 2026)

Separability falsification — ICC gap coupled vs independent IBM jobs; auditable on ibm_fez. Not an optimization bake-off.

Suggested standard add-ons: Qiskit MaxCut (approximation ratio), small Gset QUBO vs tabulated best—same metric as literature, 1-context vs N-context on IBM.
