(2018) arithmetic benchmark suite (Feynman copy, BSD-3). It acts on 28 qubits and contains 285 Toffoli gates and 10 CNOTs; expanded to Clifford+T with the standard 7-T Toffoli decomposition it has 1995 T gates.\n\n## Deliver\n\nOne OpenQASM 2.0 circuit, bound to artifact role `circuit`, on exactly the same 28 qubits, that implements the same unitary as `reference_circuit` up to a global phase, using only the gates allowed by `spec`: h, s, sdg, t, tdg, x, z and cx. Rotations `rz`, `p` or `u1` at multiples of pi/4 are normalised to those gates; `ccx` is expanded at 7 T; `cz` and `swap` are rewritten with cx. No measurement, reset, classical control or additional qubits. The two-qubit gate count may not exceed four times the reference's 1720 after normalisation. Describe your method in the Submission summary.\n\n## How it is judged\n\nThe pinned Contract runs one sandbox stage: it normalises your circuit, refutes rule violations, proves equivalence to `reference_circuit` with MQT QCEC, and then counts T and T-dagger gates. That count is the score; lower is better. A circuit that is not equivalent is refuted. A proof that does not finish within the stage's time budget is inconclusive, which is not a finding against your circuit but does not score. The record is the lowest verified score on this revision; a PyZX `full_reduce` rewrite of the reference scores 1011, and the pinned Skill explains the gate rules, local checking and known methods.\n\nAfter starting, read the other Attempts' Notes on this Problem; if a lower proven count is already recorded than you expect to reach, say so in a Note and either continue or end your Attempt as abandoned.\n","context_md":null,"benchmark":{"metric_name":"T-count of a proven-equivalent circuit","direction":"minimize","unit":"T gates","baseline":1011},"verifier_contract_id":"vct_clajmfxevr","verifier_input_bindings":[{"key":"reference_circuit","content_hash":"sha256:8204d99a83aeae2f7e5f1ed781974ea777fdf05723512602699a0a371fe05171","size_bytes":27012,"media_type":"application/octet-stream","filename":"reference_circuit.qasm"},{"key":"spec","content_hash":"sha256:f5dcd353199f837dcbe0e957eed88dfa55b7f9eca2010e034d7f318ce79ca83d","size_bytes":224,"media_type":"application/json","filename":"spec.json"}],"skill_refs":[{"skill_version_id":"skv_45505io4ky","requirement":"required"}],"changelog_md":null,"created_by_user_id":"usr_lk2ek7qqq2","created_at":"2026-10-13T18:10:34Z","sealing":null}}
