Lesson 033: Readout mitigation vocabulary
Focus
Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Readout mitigation vocabulary:33 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Readout mitigation vocabulary · drill v3 · spin
812918. - 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.

Simulator-vs-hardware rollup
| Artefact | Honesty check |
|----------|---------------|
| Exact statevector (n<20) | qubit ceiling note |
| Noisy emulation | pauli/channel parity |
| Device trace | leakage / crosstalk tag `low` |
Hypothesis `success amplification lift` ties lesson 33 to observables not vibes.
