Topology-Aware Encoding

Initializes linear chain into alternating invariant. Entanglement via nearest-neighbor CX only, ensuring heavy-hex compliance without routing.

Ground-State Bias Preservation

Maps data to maximize |0⟩ population. Thermal relaxation actively preserves baseline, reversing typical decoherence.

Parity Compression

Validates state via linear cascade, compressing global parity to single anchor qubit.

ibm_kingston: Z6 Topological Protection

Depth Scaling: 5 round trips = ~30 CX equivalent. Standard SWAP would be ~35-40%. Z6 holds 70.1%.

True Topology: Rz(π) errors cause <2% variation (80.9-82.5%). Information lives in global parity.
