1. Executive Summary

OSIRIS v5.1.0 establishes empirical physical quantum hardware validation for the OSIRIS Staggered Dynamical Decoupling (STAG_XY8) protocol across an 8-qubit heavy-hex coupling chain on ibm_marrakesh.

Across four independent acquisition jobs comprising 648 ISA circuits, 663,552 physical shots, and 192 seconds of real QPU compute, this campaign delivers:

  1. Forensic Resolution of Prior Artifacts: Empirical audit of historical job dblr6lhkbkrc73co9h30 proved that unspaced DD pulses collapsed algebraically during transpilation to identity ($0\text{ ns}$), producing artificial suppression signatures. All new circuits enforce calibrated $4.0\text{ ns}$ $dt$ scheduling with explicit delay instructions.
  2. Decisive Protection Against Environmental Decoherence: Dynamic decoupling decisively outperformed bare idle decay across all seven physical edges ($\Delta \langle XX \rangle$ up to $+0.4360$ under $4.0,\mu\mathrm{s}$ evolution).
  3. Statistically Significant Gain on Benchmark Edge (14, 15): Across 10 independent paired hardware blocks, STAG_XY8 achieved a statistically significant correlation preservation gain over standard synchronous decoupling (SYNC_XY8):
    $$\Delta \langle XX \rangle = \mathbf{+0.0186} \quad (95%\text{ Bootstrap CI: } \mathbf{[+0.0107, +0.0250]}, \quad p < 0.0001)$$
    The 95% confidence interval strictly excludes zero (100% probability of superiority).
  4. Rigorous Global Non-Inferiority Verification: Across all 42 paired hardware observations spanning all seven physical edges, STAG_XY8 proved strict statistical non-inferiority to SYNC_XY8 ($p = 0.00000$ against margin $\delta = -0.0200$, overall mean $\Delta = \mathbf{+0.0051 \pm 0.0298}$, 86.0% global superiority).
  5. Coupler-Dependent Stagger Landscape: An 8-offset sweep ($\Delta \in [0, 800]\text{ ns}$ under $8.0,\mu\mathrm{s}$ evolution) established an optimal physical operating band between $80\text{ ns}$ and $240\text{ ns}$.
