Quantum AI Basic — 162: negotiate fidelity floors with stakeholders on `Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding` — memo `574208 [162]`

Lesson 162: Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding

Focus

Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding:162 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

Key ideas

• Thread: Two-qubit basis and CNOT scaffolding · drill v2 · spin 804984.
• 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.
