The JPCUB P0 protocol (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21637028) defines the joules-per-solution metric — total system energy per correct answer — as a universal, physics-grounded benchmark for computational platforms. The qwav.tech competitive landscape displays six platforms with one publis

The Qubit Delusion (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21254143) argues that the qubit-gate-circuit model of quantum computation imports a particle ontology inconsistent with quantum field theory, and that the field's failure to deliver commercially viable hardware after $35 billion of investmen
