Constraint Physical Computing on Superconducting Bosonic Hardware: A Microwave-Referenced Feasibility, Native-Advantage, and Validation Roadmap

Constraint Physical Computing (CPC) asks whether engineered physical dynamics can perform useful computation directly from declarative constraint specifications. This white paper develops a feasibility, native-advantage, and validation roadmap for CPC on superconducting bosonic hardware, including cat-qubit, GKP, and multimode architectures. The central physical proposal combines stabilization dynamics protecting an admissible bosonic manifold with answer-independent, problem-dependent open-system dynamics intended to produce a declared semantic terminal sector. Rather than assuming that such a construction is computationally advantageous, the paper defines the physical, semantic, and resource-accounting conditions required to test it experimentally. These include bounded leakage, measurable convergence, control precision, robust referenced readout, fixed decoding, answer independence, provenance, and independent semantic validation. A Levinthal-Class Benchmark is introduced to distinguish large configuration-space avoidance from genuine computational advantage. Complete matched-confidence time-to-solution is compared against preregistered classical, quantum, physics-inspired, and structure-specific reference methods while accounting for compilation, physical synthesis, calibration, preparation, control, convergence, reset, readout, decoding, and validation. Four experimental outcomes are distinguished: backend conformance, physical semantic compatibility, competitive physical execution, and native CPC scaling advantage. The strongest outcome requires evidence of a growing advantage inconsistent with a constant implementation factor over the tested range. The proposal therefore treats native CPC advantage as a falsifiable experimental question rather than an assumed consequence of physical representation or engineered dissipation.

Abstract

Constraint Physical Computing (CPC) asks whether engineered physical dynamics can perform useful computation directly from declarative constraint specifications. This white paper develops a feasibility, native-advantage, and validation roadmap for CPC on superconducting bosonic hardware, including cat-qubit, GKP, and multimode architectures. The central physical proposal combines stabilization dynamics protecting an admissible bosonic manifold with answer-independent, problem-dependent open-system dynamics intended to produce a declared semantic terminal sector. Rather than assuming that such a construction is computationally advantageous, the paper defines the physical, semantic, and resource-accounting conditions required to test it experimentally. These include bounded leakage, measurable convergence, control precision, robust referenced readout, fixed decoding, answer independence, provenance, and independent semantic validation. A Levinthal-Class Benchmark is introduced to distinguish large configuration-space avoidance from genuine computational advantage. Complete matched-confidence time-to-solution is compared against preregistered classical, quantum, physics-inspired, and structure-specific reference methods while accounting for compilation, physical synthesis, calibration, preparation, control, convergence, reset, readout, decoding, and validation. Four experimental outcomes are distinguished: backend conformance, physical semantic compatibility, competitive physical execution, and native CPC scaling advantage. The strongest outcome requires evidence of a growing advantage inconsistent with a constant implementation factor over the tested range. The proposal therefore treats native CPC advantage as a falsifiable experimental question rather than an assumed consequence of physical representation or engineered dissipation.
