Lesson 132: Cost models for QPUs
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Cost models for QPUs:132 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Cost models for QPUs · drill v2 · spin
490636. - 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.
