Lesson 102: Algorithm family selection drills
Focus
Assume every diagram must map to topology and basis gates—not textbook abstractions alone. Token Algorithm family selection drills:102 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

Simulator-vs-hardware rollup
| Artefact | Honesty check |
|----------|---------------|
| Exact statevector (n<19) | qubit ceiling note |
| Noisy emulation | pauli/channel parity |
| Device trace | leakage / crosstalk tag `med` |
Hypothesis `parity oscillation damping` ties lesson 102 to observables not vibes.
