QEncodeBench - 3-Coloring: leaderboard
The 3-coloring family of QEncodeBench (Che, Wu, Yuan and Yu, 2026): 100 core instances whose phase oracle must mark the valid 3-colorings of a graph under a surjective two-bit color code. Semantic pass@1 in percent, decided by exhaustive simulation of the generated Qiskit circuit up to a global phase; higher is better.
Metric: Semantic pass@1 (%; L3 gate, graph 3-coloring (all edges bichromatic, surjective 2-bit color code), 100 instances of the core set; the model writes a Qiskit build_oracle function in one shot and the verifier decides full solution-set equivalence up to a global phase by exhaustive simulation, with ancillas restored and a measurement-free unitary circuit; pass@1, one attempt per instance (five samples at temperature 0.7 for the non-reasoning DeepSeek-V4-Flash row)). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 13 models tracked.
