v0.15.1-paper — Initial release
DSC-3 vs D-Wave Advantage2 — initial public release
A 40-page paper + reproducible artefacts reproducing D-Wave Advantage2's 2024–2026 published industrial benchmarks on a classical 16-solver ensemble running on a single $1.57/hour cloud GPU droplet.
Headline findings
| Axis | D-Wave Advantage2 | DSC-3 (this work) | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max embeddable problem | 4,400 qubits | 1,000,000 (droplet, n=4) | ~227× |
| Hardware capex / hourly | $10–15M list | $1.57/hour droplet | 10⁴–10⁵× |
| $/solve at N=1,728 | $0.05–$1.30 (Leap floor) | $0.024 | 10²–10⁵× |
| Energy / solve | derived ~200 Wh | 4.6 Wh | 42× |
| 3D EA quality vs Hartmann | sampling, not GS | ±1% at L≤40 production preset | matched |
| MaxCut Δ vs SA-only at N=10,000 | not embeddable | +0.13–0.20% (σ ≤ 0.02%, n=3) | DSC-3 only |
| Cryptanalysis verticals (SHA/AES/RSA/GNFS) | no publication | production encoders | DSC-3 only |
Reproducibility
- 12 load-bearing JSON artefacts with SHA-256 manifest (Appendix E of main.pdf)
aggregate_results.py+make_plots.pyregenerate tables and figures from the JSONrun_*.sh/run_*.batscripts contain the exact commands used on the droplet + workstation- Compute-intensity-matched SA-only baseline definition in §2 of main.pdf

What this paper does not claim
- That classical methods invalidate D-Wave's sampling-class quantum supremacy demonstration (we solve a different problem)
- That DSC-3 outperforms every classical algorithm at every scale (Concorde / LKH3 / Goemans–Williamson dominate their specialised classes)
- That this paper exhausts the relevant benchmarks (four of five SCM verticals, reverse annealing, and the LLM-training drug-discovery pipeline remain future work)
