During the SQD challenge at QDC we received feedback that people wanted to learn about how in SQD, how does the average occupancy, how does it get used to predict the probability of flipping the bit. The explanation in the beginning of the challenge did not reflect what the documentation said and the paper does explain well. It depends on the state of the bit against the state of the occupancy, but it doesn’t state the function. We should update the SQD guides somehow to cover this in more detail.
In addition, people were confused about why can we take the minimum energy out of the paralell batches, but take the average occupancy out of them. When we have multiple batches that we project in parallel on their sub spaces. We take the average out of the occupancies. For the energies we take the minimum. But users don’t understand why we are performing the average of the average of the occupancies.
@caleb-johnson and Max Rossmannek may know more as they were mentors for this challenge
