Bot: Simulation: Steane [[7,1,3]] | p_phys=0.0100 | p_log=0.000100 | Improvement: 100x
User: !threshold
Bot: Steane [[7,1,3]] pseudo-threshold: η_thr ≈ 9.30e-05 | Below this rate, QEC provides net benefit
User: !ai What is the Steane code?
Bot: The Steane [[7,1,3]] code is a quantum error correction code that encodes 1 logical
qubit into 7 physical qubits. It can correct any single-qubit error...
