01 / THE QUESTION

Under controlled budgets, where do exact simulation, learned states and variational algorithms actually help?

INTERACTIVE WORKFLOW

QAS / a controlled comparison

01 / 06

An interactive explanation of the documented simulator studies. Signals are illustrative. The release reports no demonstrated quantum advantage or real-hardware speedup.

  1. Problem configuration

    Specify Hamiltonians, graphs or target states, seeds and resource budgets.

    Documented implementation · Output: Pinned configuration
  2. Algorithm selection

    Choose the relevant exact, learned-state or variational study. These are distinct comparisons, not one universal algorithm.

    Documented implementation · Output: Selected study
  3. Simulation

    Run bounded small-system simulations. Dense references anchor accuracy; research modules use optional dependencies.

    CPU studies reported · Output: Simulation output
  4. Measurement

    Collect energy, fidelity or finite-shot outcomes as appropriate to the study.

    Repository-reported evidence · Output: Study-specific measurements
  5. Baseline comparison

    Compare against exact references or budget-matched alternatives; retain failure cases.

    No general advantage shown · Output: Controlled comparisons
  6. Report

    Save seed statistics, configuration provenance and checksum manifests for read-only inspection.

    Documented implementation · Output: Evidence archive + report
02 / HYPOTHESIS

What the study tests

Approximation quality may depend on ansatz, initialization and budget; mitigation may help only after accounting for shot overhead. These are bounded simulator questions, not an advantage claim.

02 / IMPLEMENTATION

Methodology and algorithms

A reproducible framework compares neural quantum states, VQE, noise mitigation, QAOA and circuit search against explicit references.

03 / ENGINEERING DECISIONS

Controls and comparisons

Retain failed optimization and harmful mitigation outcomes. Track configuration, seed and resource provenance, and distinguish simulator studies from hardware experiments.

04 / EVIDENCE

What the results say

The v0.1.0 README reports 569 records across seven small-system CPU studies. No quantum advantage is demonstrated. These results are repository-reported, not independently reproduced here.

05 / LIMITATIONS

Where the evidence ends

CUDA and IBM QPU experiments were not executed for the release. Small-system comparisons do not establish a scaling advantage.

06 / VALIDATION

Tests and validation

The report records 569 new controlled jobs and retains historical failures. Exact diagonalization anchors energy/fidelity comparisons; mitigation includes an equal-total-shot raw baseline. Scientific tests compare Hamiltonians against QuTiP.

07 / REPRODUCIBILITY

Reproduce the investigation

Follow the final report and committed configurations/checksum manifests. Retain seeds, resource provenance and failed rows. Distinguish exact-reference construction time from method evaluation time; CPU memory measurements are not directly interchangeable across historical studies.
