Entropic Rigidity in Quantum Memories: How Geometry and Algebra Control the Onset of Degeneracy Corrections

Maximum-probability (MP) decoding selects the most probable microscopic error, whereas degenerate maximum-likelihood (MLD) decoding includes the configurational entropy of an entire logical sector. Using code-capacity Pauli noise to isolate rigidity intrinsic to the code, we determine the first physical error weight $m...
