The chase for quantum supremacy is often discussed in terms of breaking encryption and cybersecurity threats, but the real danger lies in the here and now, utilizing current hardware and addressing the noise.
The **RACE** to Quantum Supremacy: H.O.T. Framework
The H.O.T. Framework (Hardware-Optimized Techniques) is introduced, built on disciplined measurement, recursive circuit geometry, and using cryptanalytic benchmarks like the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) as a stress test. This approach focuses on extracting signal from noisy data.
The Real Race: Noisy Hardware and Post-Quantum Cryptography
The current benchmark race for quantum supremacy is a red herring if you’re focused on post-quantum cryptography. The real race is happening *now*, on the hardware that exists. Implement V5 orphan measurement exclusion and benchmark the impact of recursive geometric circuits. The goal is to extract meaningful results from a noisy substrate.
ARCE: Quantum Supremacy’s ECDLP Frontier
The team successfully resolved ECDLP instances on current devices, including a 21-qubit ECDLP recovery on IBM Fez, and 14-bit ECDLP at rank 535/1038.
The Tactical Race for Quantum Supremacy
Re-evaluate your quantum programming strategy. Stop treating noise as an error to be eliminated, and start treating it as a signal to be disciplined. The future of post-quantum cryptography is being written on NISQ hardware, not in the marketing copy of tomorrow’s machines. The race for quantum supremacy isn’t a sprint for abstract advantage; it’s a tactical engagement with the hardware we have.
