Sometimes I just add “eigen” in front of a word and hope for the best.

Just published a Stim implementation of the [[16,4,4]] Tesseract code - the one used in Microsoft+Quantinnum's QECC experiment last year.
Simulation can be used to quickly benchmark the code under various parameters.

Contributions are welcome.

A plot showing the acceptance rate of the code under different noise parameters. X axis - number of rounds. Y axis - Acceptance rate A plot showing a comparison between the logical fidelity of the code under different noise parameters, with of without applying the error correction. X axis - number of rounds. Y axis - average fidelity

Hate these.. probably better off spraying, though, at this stage of infestation

Makes sense.
Now you just gotta make sure your IDE highlights that keyword and you’re golden!

Is there anything more suspenseful than running a simulation when you don’t even know if the code you wrote is correct?

I didn’t we could keep such a macro system coherent!

Do you think Miles would’ve felt the same regarding quantum information? ;)

BTW, regarding the “cool” - he has an album titled “birth of the cool”

Overheard people at the office talking about Poisson variables.
Turns out they were talking about croissants.

If I had to guess, I'd say that "high" favors high quality but can drop when your network connection is insufficient, while always-high insists on high quality anyway.

I didn't say it was measurement back-action.
It wasn't measurement back-action.

Started reading, wishing I could watch instead. Then, reading one of Scott's comments*, I knew I've heard it before.
Here's the recording:
