print("""
1. Qubit count requirements:
   - Ground state positronium (minimal basis): 2 qubits
   - First excited state: 4 qubits
   - Full positronium model: 8+ qubits
   - Hydrogen-positron system: 6+ qubits

2. Circuit depth limitations:
   - Typical NISQ devices: ~50-100 gate operations
   - VQE circuits should be kept shallow for better results
   - Error mitigation becomes essential for deeper circuits

3. Noise considerations:
   - Two-qubit gate error rates (~1-5%)
   - Readout errors
   - Decoherence during execution
   
4. Error mitigation techniques:
   - Readout error mitigation
   - Zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE)
   - Probabilistic error cancellation
   - Symmetry verification
