The Experiments
What we ran. What it showed.
All circuits executed on IBM ibm_fez, a 156-qubit Heron r2 processor. Every job ID is publicly verifiable on the IBM Quantum Network by any authenticated user.
Shor-ECDLP Circuits
10 runs against reduced-key-size elliptic curves (4 to 21-bit). Calibrates Shor's algorithm on real hardware. Key recovery was classical, the circuits demonstrate hardware fidelity and attack-vector validation, not a break of production-size keys. Null result stated explicitly.

Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE)
QPE circuits run to probe eigenphase structure. An initial reading appeared to match the fine-structure constant α ≈ 1/137. Re-analysis identified the signal as DC noise pile-up against the wrong null distribution, not an eigenphase. Retracted 2026-05-15.
Job ID: d6ts6i0v5rlc73f38ftg
Structured Quantum Walk (E8-root-system encoding)
Trotterized quantum walk over an E8-root-system encoding. Run on real ibm_fez hardware. Results used to probe gate-error suppression and coherence properties of the hardware under structured circuit load.
Bell / GHZ Circuits
Entanglement circuits targeting GHZ-16 preparation and CHSH Bell inequality testing. Hardware CHSH test rejected on re-analysis. No Bell certification is claimed. Fidelity figure did not survive proper null comparison.
Self-Audited Corrections
Three retractions. All ours.
In an industry that routinely buries failed experiments, we publish ours. The corrections are the credential, if we retract our own work, you can trust what we don't retract.

Fine-structure constant detection (α = 1/137)
What we claimed: QPE circuit on IBM ibm_fez appeared to show a phase eigenvalue consistent with α ≈ 1/137. We published this as a potential detection.
Why it was wrong: Independent re-analysis found the signal was a DC noise pile-up measured against the wrong null distribution, not an eigenphase. The hardware ran correctly; the interpretation did not.

GHZ-16 collective entanglement / Bell certification
What we claimed: Initial circuit runs showed Bell fidelity 1.0000 and were interpreted as confirming GHZ-16 entanglement with a hardware CHSH Bell certificate.
Why it was wrong: Hardware CHSH test was rejected on re-analysis. The fidelity figure did not survive a proper null comparison. No Bell certification is claimed.

Shor ECDLP key recovery (quantum break)
What we claimed: Shor-ECDLP circuits ran on real IBM hardware against toy elliptic curves (4 to 21-bit key sizes). The original framing implied a cryptographically relevant key recovery.
Why it was wrong: Key recovery was classical, not quantum. The circuits demonstrated hardware execution and calibration against reduced-key curves, not a break of production-size keys. Claim corrected.

Structured-Geometry Adversarial Probe: Methodology
A methodology for probing agentic AI systems along a structured attack taxonomy. The empirical sweep is reported at its honest floor: no exploit was confirmed. The one vector originally marked "confirmed" (D-06 MCP connector-chain trust propagation) was retracted on re-analysis (a measurement tautology; 0/5 propagation when re-tested on a current model). D-04 BFT quorum poisoning showed complete resistance across k=0..7. The method is the asset; the honest null is the result.

Who This Is For
Three audiences. One body of work.
For CISOs
The threat, tested on hardware.
The Shor circuits ran. The key recovery was classical. We say so, and the job IDs are public so you can verify independently. The 72-hour Quantum Threat Assessment maps this to your crypto surface via NIST IR 8547.
