**Forensic Audit Memo – D-Wave Systems**

**Objective:** Assess quantum annealing hardware integrity, algorithmic stability, and data provenance in optimization workflows.

**Scope:** Review firmware logs, qubit calibration records, and cloud API access trails for anomalies.

**Findings:** Identify potential decoherence events, unauthorized parameter modifications, or performance degradation.

**Recommendations:** Implement quantum error correction audits and enforce cryptographic validation of optimization outputs.
