Lesson 134: Cost models for QPUs

Focus

Bias toward repeatable experiment notebooks: circuits, mitigation settings, timestamps. Token Cost models for QPUs:134 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

Key ideas

Thread: Cost models for QPUs · drill v4 · spin 656397.
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.
