An Evidence-First Reproducibility Capsule for NISQ Benchmarking

Key Points

This work aims to establish a reliable evidence standard for NISQ benchmarking experiments.
Developed a reproducible evidence capsule for NISQ benchmarking on IBM quantum hardware.
Included components like evaluation plans, OpenQASM workloads, and ancillary JSON data.
Incorporated negative controls and replay scripts for enhanced reliability.
Presented a verifiable evidence standard for NISQ experiments.
Demonstrated the empirical application of this standard without claiming quantum advantage or fault tolerance.

Abstract

This deposit contains a reproducible evidence capsule for NISQ benchmarking on real IBM quantum hardware. The capsule combines an author-preserved evaluation plan, content-addressed logical OpenQASM workload identity, provider job-id provenance, negative controls, public ancillary JSON data, replay scripts, manuscript figures, and summary analyses. Its primary contribution is a verifiable evidence standard for NISQ experiments and an empirical demonstration of that standard. It does not claim quantum advantage, fault tolerance, provider-signed attestation, or multi-vendor universality.
