Lesson 052: Pulse-level vs gate-level glossary
Focus
Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Pulse-level vs gate-level glossary:52 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Pulse-level vs gate-level glossary · drill v2 · spin
560689. - Habit: pair each job with shot budget, mitigation profile, and a calibration fingerprint you could paste.
- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.

1. Target CI width `0.065` @ confidence `96`
2. Pilot shots `512` expanding to `8911` if variance plateaus
3. Telemetry fields `job_id,device_tz,mitigation_bundle`
4. Stop rule `halt if RB infidelity > 0.002493`
