From 31dd57f51bc0b1f3a639a8042bd3d7cd894cc93d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: meandmytram Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 17:15:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/53] Add a profiling benchmark suite with correctness fingerprints Four deterministic workloads covering the hot paths: code-capacity surface decode, small-code depolarising decode, classical LDPC constraints + DMRG readout, and plain DMRG. Baseline on M-series (loaded machine): surface 52.6s, ldpc 15.0s, shor 2.4s, dmrg 0.9s. cProfile: 69% numpy SVD (22k calls), 18% importlib machinery triggered by a per-call 'import cupy' in _to_numpy. Profile artefacts stay untracked under benchmarks/results/.

Resolve the cupy import in _to_numpy once at module load. The per-call 'import cupy' inside the function re-ran a full failing module search on every conversion: 66k importlib invocations and 18% of a surface decode. 2. Reduce strongly rectangular SVDs (aspect >= 2) by QR/LQ before gesdd and SVD the small square factor: measured 1.23x on the (chi*d, d*chi*w) zip-up matrices that dominate decoding, agreement with direct SVD ~1e-14. Benchmark deltas (same machine, fingerprints unchanged to 1e-14): surface 52.6->38.5s, ldpc 15.0->8.5s, shor 2.4->0.40s, dmrg 0.89->0.26s. A QR fast path for pure orthogonality-centre moves was tried and reverted: QR is not rank-revealing, so the exact zero Schmidt directions that the SVD moves prune survive and inflate downstream bonds (ldpc regressed 8.6->13.6s).

The negative-amplitude test asserted the artefact at one exact chi_max, which is numerical noise: it has migrated twice (4 -> 2 -> 3) under behaviour-preserving SVD changes, and CI caught the latest move. The test now asserts the phenomenon across chi_max in {2, 3, 4} and still requires a converged run to stay clean.

From e922e99a6be4a4462db0232585c38ecc0062cff3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: meandmytram Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 14:46:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 05/53] Address Copilot review: energy fingerprint and deterministic SVD coverage The DMRG workload fingerprinted mps.norm(), which renormalised bond updates hold at ~1.0 for any state, correct or not; it now fingerprints the energy (-30.1997 for the 24-site critical TFIM, i.e. -4/pi per site as it should be), which moves if the optimised state does. The QR/LQ-reduced SVD branches get deterministic tests: fixed real and complex matrices pinning wide-reduced, tall-reduced, both boundary-direct orientations and square-direct, comparing singular values, reconstruction, orthogonality, and chi_max truncation against direct numpy SVD; plus a non-finite input test asserting the whole fallback chain raises.

The factorisation is ~d times smaller and QR beats gesdd, but unlike the plain QR tried earlier the pivoted form reveals rank, so the numerically-dead Schmidt directions are pruned exactly as the SVD moves prune them -- the product-state round trip stays at bond 1 and no bond inflates (that inflation was the 58% ldpc regression the naive attempt caused).

Validated: dense() invariant to ~1e-16 across end-to-end centre moves, bonds provably non-growing, and the full 166-test suite passes -- including the exact-enumeration decoder references (ground truth, not just old-code agreement). Same idle machine, cumulative with the einsum cache: surface 20.3 -> 16.4s, ldpc 3.15 -> 2.66s; fingerprints unchanged.

The move now takes an economic QR of the (chi_l*d, chi_r) centre and SVDs its R factor: because the right neighbour is an isometry, R's singular values are exactly the bond's Schmidt spectrum -- the values the two-site SVD computes -- so truncation is the SVD path's own (same cut, same chi_max, rank 0 included), with no pivoting and no threshold of its own. Cost drops from an SVD of (chi*d x d*chi) to a QR of (chi*d x chi) plus an SVD of (chi x chi): 1.29x on end-to-end centre moves measured back to back under identical load. Validated: dense() invariant to 5e-16; product states at bond 1; the straddle example above keeps rank 1 on both paths; 168 tests and the truncation-heavy notebooks pass.

The fast path now runs only after a chi^2*d*chi Gram check confirms the neighbour is an isometry, where it is exactly the two-site SVD's answer (same cut, same chi_max); otherwise the two-site SVD runs as before. After one traversal the chain is canonical, so later moves stay fast. Review counterexamples added as a test. The benchmark suite gains a committed baseline.json written from the pre-optimisation code and a --check mode: exact values and verdicts must match to 1e-10, chi-truncated posterior entries to 1e-2 (the rectangular SVD reduction's gauge in near-degenerate spectra moves one small class mass by 5e-3 at chi=64; old and new decoders agree to 6e-14 at chi=1e5). Also: chi_max is formatted with %s in the readout warnings (it may be np.inf), _to_numpy converts a device array reached under the NumPy backend, and a stale test docstring is corrected.

The classical_ldpc workload's fingerprint was the Dephasing DMRG verdict alone, which stays 1.0 whenever the MAP codeword is unchanged; it now leads with observables of the constrained state itself (overlaps with the transmitted codeword and the received message, the middle-bond Schmidt spectrum), with the baseline rewritten from main. The product-state shortcut in apply_constraints labelled site 0 as the centre for every bond-1 chain; the isometry scan reports the first non-isometric site instead, which differs when the first sites are normalised and a later one is biased. A (1, d, 1) tensor is an isometry exactly when its vector has unit norm, so the scan's answer now comes from the site norms (same tolerance), checked against the scan on biased and unbiased chains.

With Accelerate- linked NumPy/SciPy wheels the reduced path corrupted memory (SIGBUS in numpy.linalg.qr, wrong verdicts on 24 of 24 chi_max=400 [[72,12,6]] shots). With OpenBLAS it is memory-safe but not equivalent under truncation: it moved a chi_max=64 surface_bitflip posterior entry from 0.113 to 0.096, beyond the benchmark suite's 0.01 tolerance, in two runs. It saved 0-7% on the benchmark workloads. The tests that forced the flag on are reduced to the path that remains: rectangular inputs still have to match a direct SVD, a NaN input still has to raise through the fallback chain, and the allocator-churn guard stays. All seven fingerprints match the main baselines.
