<content type="text">Two resolver sources were named by citation, not by link (arXiv:2503.05693 and an EPFL preprint). Each now has its arXiv link, so the documents that settle the claim can be found and archived. Adds a link to each resolver source that was named only by citation. The same two documents are meant; no condition is changed. The earlier text is kept on the claim page.</content>

<content type="text">On 26 May 2026 D-Wave issued a response to a newly published Flatiron Institute paper in Science that uses a classical tensor-network method to compute quantum annealing dynamics, the approach first posted to arXiv in March 2025. As reported by Quantum Computing Report, D-Wave says its 2025 milestones are not overturned: the classical method covers only some topologies, sizes and measured quantities. We have not read the Science paper. The dispute is now a published paper against a company statement, and it is not settled either way.</content>

<summary type="text">Claim captured, with its resolution criteria and the sources that will settle it. Resolves by 2026-12-31.</summary>
<content type="text">Resolves by 2026-12-31 (+30 day grace). Criteria: This is a claim about a result already published (Science, DOI 10.1126/science.ado6285, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation”), not a future promise -- so what is being tracked is not whether it happens, but whether it HOLDS UP against classical rebuttals, which is exactly the kind of claim a credibility tracker exists for. Resolves VERIFIED if no classical algorithm has, by the resolution date, matched D-Wave's reported accuracy/runtime on the same problem instances at the same or larger scale. NOT_VERIFIED if a peer-reviewed classical method has matched or beaten it at comparable scale. PARTIALLY_VERIFIED if classical methods match it at smaller scales tested so far (as the two rebuttals below currently claim) but have not yet been shown to scale to D-Wave's largest reported instances.</content>
