Limits RegistryMicrosofts 2026 Quantum Pioneers Software Track solicited academic proposals in quantum error correction, algorithms, applications, and architecture. Its entry period ended July 17, 2026.
The question, scope, and sources behind this Registry record.
Propose technically rigorous research advancing quantum error correction, algorithms, architecture, or quantum-software foundations under the 2026 Software Track rules.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.

The frontier as it changed over time.
Only accepted Claims matching the current specification contribute to the displayed bounds. Strict inequalities remain open; contradictory Claims require editorial review.
