Description

Abstract** 

We present a novel hybrid approach combining real IBM Quantum hardware experiments with a cosmological simulation of the Bullet Cluster. A 4-qubit O’Reilly Observer circuit encoding LIGO GW150914 strain data exhibited complete probability collapse (Shannon entropy = 0.0000 bits, V_eff → 1). 

This result informs a new gravitational lensing simulation incorporating an Informational Stress-Energy perturbation (Sμν) modulated at the O’Reilly frequency ω_OR. The simulation produces visible ring-like structures in the convergence map, demonstrating how quantum informational geometry may imprint observable signatures on large-scale astrophysical systems. 

These findings support the hypothesis that dark energy and gravitational lensing anomalies may have an informational origin, bridging near-term quantum hardware with cosmological observations.

**HEADLINE**: First demonstration of quantum-hardware-derived informational perturbations affecting Bullet Cluster lensing profiles.
