Shor-ECDLP circuits executed on real IBM quantum hardware (11 of 12 jobs on ibm_fez) across ten prime-order curves, 4-bit to 21-bit.
Where it stands: Real-hardware execution, every job ID listed on our ledger. Two of the ten runs were full Shor circuits; eight were hybrids where a classical step did most of the work. None yielded a cryptographic break; key recovery was classical. 0 of 10 support a quantum break. Correction, 18 September 2026: the published 6-bit and 8-bit results were computed on a simulator after a code bug; the other eight came from the hardware. The 0 of 10 result is unchanged.

E8 quantum phase estimation (15 qubits, 128 bins), run on an older 133-qubit IBM machine.
Where it stands: The "fine-structure constant detected" reading was retracted: the histogram was a DC noise pile-up measured against the wrong null. The circuit ran; no eigenphase was resolved. Correction, 18 September 2026: the job ran on IBM hardware, but the published value was computed on a simulator after a code bug; see /research/quantum.

E8 Cartan-evolution quantum walk (8 qubits) on real hardware.
Where it stands: The "alpha detected" flag was retracted: the artifact recorded a detection while its hit list was empty. The walk executed; no eigenphase was resolved. Correction, 18 September 2026: the job ran on IBM hardware, but the published value was computed on a simulator after a code bug; see /research/quantum.

A 16-qubit entanglement (GHZ) circuit on real IBM hardware.
Where it stands: Withdrawn. The earlier fidelity 1.0000 claim was retracted in May 2026, and on 18 September 2026 we found no record of this run in our run log and no IBM job we can attribute to it. We no longer claim it ran on hardware.
CORRECTIONNo attributable job ID; see the correction on /research/quantum

Keyed HMAC seeded by entropy from a real-hardware circuit run.
Where it stands: The "Bell-certified gate" framing was retracted. The defensible claim is an HMAC seeded by hardware-run entropy; no nonlocality certification. Correction, 18 September 2026: the job ran on IBM hardware, but the published value was computed on a simulator after a code bug; see /research/quantum.

E8 gauge decomposition: three circuits (E8, A8-chain control, random-graph control) submitted to IBM, 8192 shots each.
Where it stands: Entropy and KL divergence are statistically indistinguishable across all three; a calibrated null shows the hit counts are consistent with hardware noise. Not confirmed, not fully retracted (raw per-bin data was not archived, so one alternative could not be tested). Correction, 18 September 2026: the job ran on IBM hardware, but the published value was computed on a simulator after a code bug; see /research/quantum.

E8 coupling sweep: spectroscopic survey over the root system at varying coupling angles, 60 IBM jobs, 57 of them on ibm_fez.
Where it stands: A survey run. The claim is that the jobs executed as described; no physical result beyond the survey is asserted. Correction, 18 September 2026: the job ran on IBM hardware, but the published value was computed on a simulator after a code bug; see /research/quantum.

CHSH Bell test and GHZ-Mermin on ibm_marrakesh: S = 2.733 (32 sigma over the classical bound of 2), M = -3.859.
Where it stands: A reproduction of textbook physics on a single device, not loophole-free (locality and detection loopholes remain open). Not a novel result.
