Execution summary of the data-driven Middle East crisis evaluation on IBM Fez.
The goal was to prove that QPC can process a complex real-world crisis structure (Middle East oil/gas conflict risk), not just toy examples.
More specifically, the task aimed to:
- Build a scenario-based crisis model with many interdependent indicators.
- Run it on real IBM quantum hardware (Fez).
- Rank scenarios in a consistent QPC way.
- Show that QPC + reducer pipeline works end-to-end for high-stakes, multi-context decision problems.
We moved from hardcoded simple values to a data-driven scenario database:
- File: qpc_crisis_parameters.json
- Contains 4 complex scenarios, each with normalized indicators [0..1].
- Indicators include:
- transport, market, geopolitical, substitution, feasibility
- war spread across region
- Iran regime-change risk
- regional infrastructure damage
- pipeline/port damage
- military attack intensity
- Gulf involvement
- international investigation pressure
- risk bias, redundancy bias
So the computation now reads structured scenario data from a dedicated file, which is exactly what you asked for.
1. Load scenarios from qpc_crisis_parameters.json.
2. Map indicators to QPC contextures (phase/relational encoding).
3. Build quantum circuit for all scenarios in parallel (partitioned qubit regions).
4. Transpile and run on IBM Fez (real hardware, not simulator).
5. Collect counts from Sampler results.
6. Apply QPC reducer (normalization/aggregation and mitigation path where applicable).
7. Apply graph refinement across scenario neighborhood relations.
8. Produce ranking + report files.
Outputs written:
- qpc_crisis_results_full.json
- qpc_crisis_summary.csv
- qpc_crisis_report.html
The QPC reducer step above is the same universal post-processing toolkit (normalization, aggregation, readout-style mitigation where used) documented for buyers here: QPC Noise Reducer — public report.
Latest completed run (128Q circuit) produced:
- Best scenario: S4_gulf_direct_intervention
- Ranking:
1. S4_gulf_direct_intervention
2. S1_multitheater_spread
3. S3_crossborder_infra_destruction
4. S2_iran_transition_shock
Meaning in words:
- QPC evaluated all scenario contextures together and returned a coherence-based ordering.
- This ranking is not a prophecy; it is a structured relational evaluation of crisis configurations under your defined indicator model.
- The key success is that QPC handled a broad, coupled crisis model on real quantum hardware and produced stable, machine-readable decision outputs.
Yes.
Success criteria achieved:
- Data-driven crisis database created and integrated.
- Complex scenario set (not simplistic) implemented.
- Real Fez execution completed successfully.
- End-to-end QPC computation + reducer + reporting pipeline delivered.
This task is important because it demonstrates that QPC is not limited to abstract demos. It can:
- Represent multi-context geopolitical-energy crisis systems.
- Process interdependent indicators in one unified QPC workflow.
- Execute on a real quantum backend and still produce actionable structured outputs.
- Scale as a reusable architecture: new scenarios can be inserted by updating the JSON database, without redesigning the full pipeline.
In short: this validates QPC as a practical architecture for handling complex crisis scenario spaces in quantum computation.
