Personal metrics: figures are the maximum across submitted portfolios (circuit size follows portfolio size). Machine qubits is the size of the whole chip; qubits used is what this calculation needs.
Method comparison (experimental)
The same metric computed several ways on the same frozen inputs, one change at a time, so a gap between two rows has a known cause. Each plus/minus is the standard error of that value. How to read this, and how it scales.

| Step | Method | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Classical, exact | classical | 99.1 |
| Production value (-0.0 h from the snapshot) | classical | 99.1 |
| Quantum simulator, ideal | quantum simulated | 99.1 |

Quantum values are not expected to beat the classical value at these problem sizes. The purpose of this section is to show, with uncertainty, how and why the methods differ. Small samples: treat scores as indicative.
