Lesson 127: Shot noise vs decoherence slicing
Focus
Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Shot noise vs decoherence slicing:127 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Shot noise vs decoherence slicing · drill v7 · spin
750015. - 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.

- [ ] basis translation logged for `iswap+cz blend`
- [ ] SWAP count vs manual estimate delta noted
- [ ] layout seed `S-2047`
Rollback triggers: CX depth > THRESH-194 OR queue SLA breach without mitigation flip.
