This is the container community’s response to this ambiguity I think.

(use https though)

although qiskit is open source so literally anyone can look at the GitHub and get a pretty good idea of what's going on

Obviously nobody will do this because their whole game is locking people in - but nothing is stopping Apple/Spotify from exposing a dev interface to Apple Music's UI components that would allow essentially the same thing but only with Apple Music as backend provider

you said the number 15 was never factored on a quantum computer - this is false.

You can run as many gates as you want - go ahead and run 4608 gates in qiskit right now - the measurements will be random but you can do it.

IDK where you got that equation for the number of gates but it's probably for the general case - doesn't take into account the fact that different gate sets can be used to reduce the total.

Also confused on the error correction part - the whole point of error correction is to make the coherence time independent of the number of 'gates' in your circuit - so yeah with error correction you get more gates but you also get an effectively infinite coherence time...

(the code will probably be more optimized / easier to optimize for the compiler but you get my point)

I'm having a hard time understanding the program you supplied though, the subsequent description did not really help (probs more my fault than your own). I certainly understand the visitor pattern (and have had a sneaky suspicion it is important) but the lambda calculus, not so much.

What type of syntax is the program you supplied in - is it more of a pseudocode or an actual formal language?

thanks for the search keywords - definitely helped - if you have a favorite textbook/arxiv reference/author on this stuff, those would be greatly appreciated as well.
