Molecular ground-state energies by phase estimation
Compute the ground-state energy of an atom or molecule, a calculation whose time the paper states scales exponentially with system size on a classical computer.
Every quantum algorithm worth knowing about, written down the same way: what it takes, what it returns, what it costs, and who proved it.

A speedup class on a record is quoted: See whose claim it is
Every record is classified by how it was verified. The badge shows the strongest tier of evidence; the chips list each method that applies.
The defining behavior was checked exactly: a mathematical identity, a full statevector or stabilizer simulation, or an exhaustive basis-state truth table.
The design was verified by construction plus measured evidence: statistical re-execution, small-instance analytic agreement, sub-block, echo, or invariant checks. Scale-specific bugs can still survive.
The record rests on external authority: peer-reviewed papers, standard textbooks, expert review, or evidence carried over from related verified entries. Nothing here was re-executed by this catalog.
Only automated (LLM-assisted) review or an unreviewed community submission backs this record so far. Treat it as a starting point, not evidence.

Compute the ground-state energy of an atom or molecule, a calculation whose time the paper states scales exponentially with system size on a classical computer.
A ground-state preparation method that projects non-unitary imaginary-time evolution onto a parameterized quantum circuit.
Sample from the output distribution of a rudimentary optical device: identical photons are generated, sent through a network of beamsplitters and phase shifters, and then non-adaptively measured to count the photons in each mode. The question is whether a classical computer can do the same sampling efficiently.
Prepare the thermal Gibbs state of an interacting quantum system on a quantum computer, and use that preparation to evaluate the system's partition function to a target accuracy.
A hybrid chemistry workflow that compares a quantum expectation loop with classical eigensolvers.
