Summary

Adds Chevignard, Fouque, Schrottenloher (INRIA) to the visualizer at rank 60, score 4 (Proactive), notable, pq_work_volume 1.

Why

EUROCRYPT 2026 paper — IACR ePrint 2026/280, Reducing the Number of Qubits in Quantum ECDLP — presents prime-curve ECDLP quantum circuits at 3.12n + o(n) qubits versus 5n + o(n) prior (Häner 2020). For P-256: 1,193 logical qubits — a 44% reduction.

Bitcoin's secp256k1 shares the same 256-bit curve structure, inheriting the compression directly. This measurably tightens the Babbush et al. <500K-physical-qubit ECDLP-256 budget that the Gidney / Google Quantum AI entry (PR #25) anchors — the two PRs together close a major coverage gap in the academic ECDLP-research lane.

Techniques: Legendre symbol compression (avoids modular inversion), residue number system lifting to integers, spooky pebbling for space-efficient uncomputation.

Sourced from approved quantum signal `5c67cc09` (Apr 26 brief inclusion).

Changes

  • New entry rank 60 in `data.json` and `public/data.json`
  • `update_history` entry added to both files (currently `#TBD`, will fix to `#` post-open)
  • Metadata sync: version 2.7 → 2.8, `total_assessed` 57 → 58, `4_proactive` count +1, `notable_additions` +1, `last_updated` 2026-04-27

Verification checklist

  • Both files validate as JSON
  • Pattern matches Echelon Labs Research (rank 56) — research-tier entry precedent
  • All sources external + primary (IACR ePrint, arXiv cross-ref)

…le, EUROCRYPT 2026 P-256 qubit cut

EUROCRYPT 2026 paper (IACR ePrint 2026/280) 'Reducing the Number
of Qubits in Quantum ECDLP' presents prime-curve ECDLP quantum
circuits at 3.12n + o(n) qubits vs 5n + o(n) prior (Häner 2020).

For P-256: 1,193 logical qubits — a 44% reduction. Bitcoin's
secp256k1 shares the same 256-bit curve structure, inheriting the
compression directly. This measurably tightens the Babbush et al.
<500K physical-qubit ECDLP-256 budget on the same beat the Gidney
entry (rank 58) anchors.

Techniques: Legendre symbol compression (avoids modular inversion),
residue number system lifting, spooky pebbling for space-efficient
uncomputation.
