Quantum AI Basic — 012: budget shots against calibration drift on `Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding` — memo `373956 [12]` — Learn

Lesson 012: Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding

Focus

Treat placeholders as mandatory—rename qubit lines and budget shots immediately. Token Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding:12 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

Key ideas

Thread: Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding · drill v2 · spin 829358.
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.
