“Quantum Winter Antidote: The Detector Error Model That Keeps Identity Alive”
Fault tolerance isn’t fixing bits—it’s keeping *who you are* alive while every gate tries to erase you. Detector error models = the first code that tracks identity instead of just errors. Surface code just got a bulletproof vest vs measurement noise. Quantum winter? Not if the qubit knows its name. arXiv:2407.13826
