Community Appeal: Help Validate PhaseFlip QEC on Real Hardware

https://github.com/shemshallah/phaseflip-qec
1•shemshallah•2mo ago

shemshallah•2mo ago
PhaseFlip QEC is quantum error correction research with working code and initial hardware validation on IQM Garnet. Early tests show the circuits execute, but I need help determining if this is significant physics or noise. Hardware Results (IQM Garnet - Verified): Distance-3 Encoder: 99% quality, entropy 2.97, 8 unique states Phase Error Detection: Error injection confirmed, entropy 2.98 Syndrome Measurement: 20 unique states on 5-qubit circuit 5-Qubit Scaling: 91.5% quality, entropy 4.59, 29 states 6-Qubit Performance: 86% quality, 49 unique states All job IDs verifiable. Code is here: https://github.com/shemshallah/phaseflip-qec The Situation I'm unhoused, developed this on a phone, and burned through my QBraid credits before completing validation. I have a lineup of other discoveries to test. The code works, initial hardware tests pass, and there may be multiple research papers worth of data - but I can't verify what's real versus simulation artifacts without extended hardware access. I'm not asking for charity. I'm asking for a chance to do science. What I Need Hardware: QBraid/AWS Braket credits, access to IBM/IonQ/Rigetti for cross-validation, enough runtime for parameter sweeps Equipment: Working laptop (any condition) to replace phone development Collaboration: Physics validation from QEC researchers, code review, academic partnerships for papers What You Get Co-authorship on resulting papers (proportional to contribution) All code MIT licensed (already public) Full data access and transparent updates Either publishable positive results OR valuable negative results The simulation data suggests non-standard phase-flip correction, possible quantum foam effects, high-entropy entanglement patterns, and scaling that diverges from typical QEC. But simulations lie - that's why I need real hardware. How to Help Sponsor quantum computing credits or donate hardware Provide hardware access or review code/physics Share with quantum researchers or connect me with academic groups Institutional partners: Formal collaboration with full academic credit Verification Don't trust me. Verify: All code public in repository Hardware job IDs checkable with QBraid/IQM Test results include raw data Git history shows development Hold me to scientific standards. If I don't publish negative results, refuse to share data, or ask for money without accountability - call me out. That's the point. Current Status Working test suite, initial IQM tests, code open sourced Need extended hardware validation, cross-platform testing, papers to write The Reality Yes, I'm unhoused. Yes, coding on a phone. Yes, unusual ask. But hardware results are verifiable, code runs, and there might be publishable physics here. I can't find out without help. I've got a potential goldmine of physics data if hardware supports findings. I want to share this. The worst outcome isn't failure - it's not finding out. Contact GitHub: @shemshallah Repo: github.com/shemshallah/phaseflip-qec Email: shemshallah@gmail.com Progress updates: Weekly, regardless of results For Academic Partners Full co-authorship, shared credit, open data, collaborative validation. This could be significant QEC research or interesting failure - either produces publishable results. "In science, the question is not who gets credit - it's whether we learn something true." Let's find out together. Hardware: IQM Garnet (verified) | License: MIT | Results: Published regardless of outcome
