Quantum AI Basic — 108: simulate queue-depth failure modes on `Hybrid classical loop tracing` — memo `464266 [108]`

Lesson 108: Hybrid classical loop tracing

Focus

Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Hybrid classical loop tracing:108 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

Key ideas

• Thread: Hybrid classical loop tracing · drill v8 · spin 819018.
• 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.
