The goal behind Quantum Metal has always been simple: open, extensible tooling that helps translate physical intuition into reliable quantum hardware, and that grows through community use and contribution.

I also go into some of the less glamorous but essential details—meshing strategies, finite-element models, energy participation ratios, and lumped-oscillator approaches that make simulations actually useful.

QDW is a great venue for these kinds of conversations—very hands-on, device-focused, and grounded in the realities of building hardware. In that spirit, this talk walks through how Quantum Metal fits into real design workflows: connecting layout (GDS), electromagnetic solvers, and physical models.

Conversely, by checking the final state against the outcome of a second quantum computer, the measurement can be easily quantumly verified.
This “hard middle ground” may form a classically intractable and quantum-verifiable benchmark.

A third option exists, where B is neither too shallow nor too deep, where the system evolves to a state which is difficult to classically determine,
Why this challenges classical computers:
A shallow B should leave the system in the |0> state, while a deep circuit B will likely produce the maximally-mixed state,

A butterfly (random) circuit B is applied, followed by a single gate g,
Then the inverse of B is applied, and then another single gate h,
B is applied again, then g again, then B inverse again,
Finally, a measurement M of the qubit is made.

💡What’s different about OTOC(2)?
Rather than producing random samples, the problem is to determine the state of a single qubit passed through several operations before measurement. The protocol is as follows:
The system is initialized in the all-zero state,

I’ve received a lot of questions lately about Google’s use of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs), for demonstrating verifiable quantum advantage. Let’s unpack some of the details surrounding this family of expectation-value problems.
