Day 818: Error Budgets and Code Distance Selection

Learning Objectives

• •**Decompose** total error budgets into gate, measurement, and idle components
• •**Apply** the $d = 2t + 1$ criterion for distance selection
• •**Calculate** logical error rates from physical error rates
• •**Determine** minimum code distance for target logical error rates
• •**Analyze** threshold behavior and sub-threshold scaling
• •**Optimize** resource allocation given error budget constraints
