Abstract

Experimental companion (Paper 21b) of the NWT program. The substrate-canonical Steane [[7,1,3]] preparation circuits are executed on real quantum hardware (IBM Heron r2, IQM Garnet, AQT Ibex-Q1), reproducing the predicted stabilizer-syndrome structure cross-vendor and cross-architecture, including the cross-sector syndrome equivalences. Honest scope: the experiments establish that the predicted syndrome structure is preparable, mutually distinguishable, and architecture-independent on real hardware (realizability), not framework validation. Companion to Paper 21a (theory) and Paper 22 (cosmogenesis).

Programming Semantics onto the Collapse of Quantum Entanglement: Hardware Validated on AWS Braket

David Michael Goddard

This paper tests a specific, falsifiable hypothesis: under standard quantum mechanics, measurement order on sender qubits cannot produce statistically distinguishable distributions on receiver qubit measurements. Any decoder operating solely on receiver statistics should achieve only chance accuracy (50%). To test this, we designed and executed experiments on real quantum hardware (IQM Garnet and Rigetti Ankaa-3 via AWS Braket). Using 8-qubit W+GHZ entangled structures, we encoded binary information by varying collapse order on sender qubits and decoded by measuring receiver qubit statistics. Results contradict the null hypothesis: 100% classification accuracy (10/10 bits correctly decoded) 23σ statistical significance (χ² = 548.45, p = 2.74×10⁻¹²¹) Cross-platform replication on Rigetti Ankaa-3 (5σ) Control experiments without entanglement: 50% accuracy (random chance) Witness qubits rule out electromagnetic crosstalk The protocol parameters (topology, collapse-order mapping, decision threshold) were pre-specified in July 2025—six months before hardware validation—eliminating post-hoc tuning concerns. Supplementary materials S1 and S2 document this timeline with SHA-256 hashes. These results demonstrate that collapse-order information can be encoded and decoded within entangled quantum systems, implementing a semantic communication protocol that requires entanglement and cannot be explained by standard quantum mechanics combined with calibrated device noise. Archive includes: complete manuscript, Jupyter notebook with experiment code, raw JSON results from AWS Braket tasks, prior protocol documentation (S1), and hardware-calibrated simulation suite (S2).

The Rotation Gap Is Not An Error: Ternary Structure in IBM Quantum Hardware

Stenberg Selina

Standard quantum error correction assumes that all syndrome activations represent errors requiring correction. This paper presents evidence from 756 QEC runs across three IBM Eagle r3 processors (ibm_brisbane, ibm_kyoto, ibm_osaka) that this assumption is incomplete. The hardware exhibits sub-Poissonian syndrome statistics — Fano factor F = 0.856 (t = −131 against Poisson) with zero dependence on code distance (ANOVA p = 0.79) and linear burst scaling (R² = 0.9999). These statistics indicate that a fraction of syndrome events are not random noise but structured cooperative transitions arising from the Z₃ chirality classes of IBM's heavy-hex (Eisenstein-compatible) lattice connectivity. A regime classifier decoder is introduced that distinguishes binary errors from ternary transitions using five structural features (isolation, boundary status, density contrast, chirality, temporal consistency). On a mixed error model calibrated to the IBM hardware statistics, the classifier reduces logical error rates by 7–19% at static detection depth (τ = 1) across all cell sizes, with p < 0.0001 in all four τ = 1 conditions. The improvement mechanism is selective abstention: the classifier correctly identifies 75–80% of ternary transitions at τ = 1 (88–98% at τ = 5) and leaves them uncorrected, whereas a standard decoder miscorrects them. A cross-platform control on Google's 105-qubit Willow processor (420 experiments, d = 3, 5, 7) shows the opposite statistics: super-Poissonian (F = 2.42), super-linear burst scaling, and positive spatial correlation. The Willow result is a prospective prediction of the Merkabit framework (Paper 15), which identifies hexagonal connectivity as the structural requirement for Z₃ chirality-driven anti-bunching. IBM's heavy-hex architecture satisfies this requirement; Google's grid architecture does not. The classifier applied to Willow produces zero improvement, confirming the effect is architecture-specific. The IBM sub-Poissonian statistics were consistent with Paper 15's framework when the DAQEC benchmark became available. The Willow analysis was conducted after Paper 15 was complete, on data not previously examined, and constitutes the prospective test. Direct hardware validation (§2.7): A hexagonal syndrome circuit (7-node cell, 12 CNOTs per round, T = 20 rounds, 4,000 shots) was run on real IBM Quantum hardware by Thor Henning Hetland. On ibm_strasbourg (Eagle r3) with native-direction CX gates, F = 0.9611 < 1 — sub-Poissonian, confirming the prediction on a processor and circuit independent of the original analysis. The routed circuit on the same processor gives F = 1.207, and ibm_fez (Heron r2) gives F = 18.75 — both super-Poissonian. The signal is gate-direction-sensitive: wrong-direction CX gates inflate circuit depth from 1163 to 2045, destroying the anti-bunching structure. This sensitivity confirms the effect is geometric: it depends on preserving native hexagonal connectivity at the gate level. Key results: F = 0.856 ± 0.03 (IBM) vs F = 2.42 ± 0.36 (Willow) · linear burst scaling R² = 0.9999 (IBM) · 7–19% LER improvement · zero classifier effect on Willow · f = 14.4% ternary fraction Data sources: IBM DAQEC benchmark, Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.17881116 · Google Willow surface code data, Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.13273331
