χR(∣qubit_T⟩⊗8) ≤ 9

BK T-type orbit, qubit.

# describe your decomposition in bounds/mybound.json
make fit BOUND=bounds/mybound.json ARGS=--write
make verify BOUND=bounds/mybound.json

fit solves for the exact coefficients, or tells you no exact combination of your terms reproduces the target. verify rebuilds the identity in exact arithmetic. If it passes, open a pull request adding the file and the leaderboard picks it up on the next build.

A bound the pipeline cannot check is recorded as cited and never takes a record.

Verification

verified   9 stabilizer terms reproduce |qubit_T>^{ot 8}, checked symbolically

Implied per-copy exponent γ ≤ 0.3962 against a published 0.3962, no improvement.

Compute

1 run; 0.001 CPU-hours; 0.001 h wall-clock; on Apple silicon laptop, one core; direct construction, no search.

Notes

Tensor product of the board's witnesses qubit_T-m4-upper-3.json, qubit_T-m4-upper-3.json: χ(|qubitT⟩⊗4) ≤ 3 x χ(|qubitT⟩⊗4) ≤ 3 gives χ(|qubitT⟩⊗8) ≤ 9, exponent 0.3962. First witness for this cell; it is the sub-multiplicative value the board already implied and does not move the exponent. Terms are the exact products (x0 and l concatenated, W and Q block diagonal) and coefficients the exact products, built by research/constructions/product_witness.py.
