Lesson 061: Multi-chip / networking vocabulary
Focus
Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Multi-chip / networking vocabulary:61 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Multi-chip / networking vocabulary · drill v1 · spin
36166. - 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<18) | qubit ceiling note |
| Noisy emulation | pauli/channel parity |
| Device trace | leakage / crosstalk tag `low` |
Hypothesis `parity oscillation damping` ties lesson 61 to observables not vibes.
