How the surface code works: the 2D lattice geometry, X and Z stabilizer measurements, logical operators, and why it's the leading candidate for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
How to estimate the physical qubit count, T-gates, and runtime needed for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. Use Azure Quantum Resource Estimator and manual calculations for Shor's algorithm and quantum chemistry.
Simulate a distance-3 surface code using Stim and decode syndromes with PyMatching. Measure logical error rates and compute the code threshold from simulation data.
