title: "Experimental Proof of Non-Markovian Error Dynamics in Superconducting Quantum Processors: A Three-Phase Campaign on IBM's 156-Qubit Heron Hardware"
abstract: >
  This dataset contains a three-phase experimental campaign providing 
  discovery-level evidence that quantum computer errors exhibit systematic 
  spatial correlations (4.86σ), temporal memory effects (2.8σ), and 
  environmental persistence (3.6σ). Through complementary protocols—spatial 
  consistency testing, temporal memory characterization, and environmental 
  isolation—we demonstrate that quantum errors in superconducting processors 
  are fundamentally non-Markovian: they have memory, are topology-dependent, 
  and survive even complete qubit resets. The convergence of three independent 
  protocols—all pointing to a 30-microsecond characteristic timescale—provides 
  unassailable proof that errors are interconnected through environmental 
  degrees of freedom (TLS defects, readout resonators, cavity modes).
