Lesson 018: Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding
Focus
Assume every diagram must map to topology and basis gates—not textbook abstractions alone. Token Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding:18 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas

- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.
