PhaseFlip QEC is quantum error correction research with working code and initial hardware validation on IQM Garnet. Early tests show the circuits execute, but I need help determining if this is significant physics or noise.
Hardware Results (IQM Garnet - Verified):
Distance-3 Encoder: 99% quality, entropy 2.97, 8 unique states
Phase Error Detection: Error injection confirmed, entropy 2.98
Syndrome Measurement: 20 unique states on 5-qubit circuit
5-Qubit Scaling: 91.5% quality, entropy 4.59, 29 states
6-Qubit Performance: 86% quality, 49 unique states
All job IDs verifiable. Code is here: https://github.com/shemshallah/phaseflip-qec
The Situation
I'm unhoused, developed this on a phone, and burned through my QBraid credits before completing validation. I have a lineup of other discoveries to test. The code works, initial hardware tests pass, and there may be multiple research papers worth of data - but I can't verify what's real versus simulation artifacts without extended hardware access.
I'm not asking for charity. I'm asking for a chance to do science.
What I Need
Hardware: QBraid/AWS Braket credits, access to IBM/IonQ/Rigetti for cross-validation, enough runtime for parameter sweeps
Equipment: Working laptop (any condition) to replace phone development
Collaboration: Physics validation from QEC researchers, code review, academic partnerships for papers
What You Get
Co-authorship on resulting papers (proportional to contribution)
All code MIT licensed (already public)
Full data access and transparent updates
Either publishable positive results OR valuable negative results
The simulation data suggests non-standard phase-flip correction, possible quantum foam effects, high-entropy entanglement patterns, and scaling that diverges from typical QEC. But simulations lie - that's why I need real hardware.
How to Help
Sponsor quantum computing credits or donate hardware
Provide hardware access or review code/physics
Share with quantum researchers or connect me with academic groups
Institutional partners: Formal collaboration with full academic credit
Verification
Don't trust me. Verify:
All code public in repository
Hardware job IDs checkable with QBraid/IQM
Test results include raw data
Git history shows development
Hold me to scientific standards. If I don't publish negative results, refuse to share data, or ask for money without accountability - call me out. That's the point.
Current Status
Working test suite, initial IQM tests, code open sourced
Need extended hardware validation, cross-platform testing, papers to write
The Reality
Yes, I'm unhoused. Yes, coding on a phone. Yes, unusual ask.
But hardware results are verifiable, code runs, and there might be publishable physics here. I can't find out without help. I've got a potential goldmine of physics data if hardware supports findings. I want to share this.
The worst outcome isn't failure - it's not finding out.

For Academic Partners
Full co-authorship, shared credit, open data, collaborative validation. This could be significant QEC research or interesting failure - either produces publishable results.

Let's find out together.
