QEC research: prototype qLDPC-style workload IR and resource model #285

Description

@arniber21

What to build

Prototype an abstract qLDPC-style QEC workload path focused on compiler/resource modeling, not full decoding or threshold validation.

The first slice should represent a parity-check graph, generate syndrome-extraction workload structure, and estimate neutral-atom-relevant resource pressure such as check weight, connectivity demand, ancilla demand, measurement rounds, and movement pressure.

Acceptance criteria

  • Add an abstract code-family representation for qLDPC-style workloads using parity-check graph metadata.
  • Generate a syndrome-extraction workload from a small toy parity-check graph.
  • Emit resource estimates for check weight, ancilla count, measurement rounds, movement/connectivity pressure, and peak atom demand.
  • Add at least one toy example and one golden resource report.
  • Unsupported features fail clearly: no full decoder, no threshold claim, no hardware-specific calibration claim.
  • Documentation explains the scope as a compiler/resource-model prototype.

Blocked by

None - can start immediately, but design review is recommended before implementation.
