Shalaginov","Michael Dubrovsky"],"abstract":"Despite all the progress in quantum technologies over the last decade, there is still a dearth of practical applications for quantum computers with a small number of noisy qubits. The effort to show quantum supremacy has been largely focused on demonstrating computations that cannot be accomplished on a classical computer at all, a difficult and controversial target. Quantum advantage (a speedup over classical computers) is a more practical milestone for today's modest quantum processors. In this work, we proposed a scheme for quantum-computer compatible proof of work (cryptographic mechanism used in Bitcoin mining) and verified it on a 4-qubit superconducting quantum node.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.10643v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.10643v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"quantum-proof-of-work-with-parametrized","repo_url":"https://github.com/shalm/obtc-core/tree/master/test/qPoW","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
