Stored as a total energy in the convention of VarBench; quoted here as E/N (S.S), which is what the papers report (how the conversion works).

Every published energy

Grouped by what the number is. Ranking happens only inside the first group.

Strict variational upper bounds (2)

Where the instance is not solved, the record is the lowest eligible energy in this group; where it is, the lowest eligible energy here is the best variational bound and the closest challenger to the exact one.

Extrapolations (1)

Zero-variance, bond-dimension or Trotter-error extrapolations. Not a bound: no ansatz ever reached the number, so it cannot hold the record.

The paper's most accurate schedule (Table II, whose L = 24 V-score 6.0e-2 is this run's 0.0600); plotted in Fig. 4(a), not printed; quoted as -0.54810(1) in Table 1 of arXiv:2602.02665, whose error bar is not the primary's. TriangularMS is the 120-degree basis rotation U_tri, which changes the representation, not the Hamiltonian. Variance is Var(H)/N^2 in S.S units; total = var x N^2 x 16.
