**Forensic Audit Memo – Q-CTRL (Quantum Control & Error Correction)**

1. **Objective:** Assess Q-CTRL’s quantum error correction (QEC) protocols for compliance with NIST SP 800-191 and detect potential vulnerabilities in control signal integrity.
2. **Scope:** Review firmware, gate calibration logs, and error mitigation algorithms across all deployed quantum processors.
3. **Findings:** Identified latent timing discrepancies in dynamical decoupling sequences (QEC Layer 2) and unvalidated noise suppression thresholds (QEC Layer 1).
4. **Recommendations:** Implement real-time telemetry validation and enforce gate-level error budget audits per ISO/IEC 23837:2023.

**Status:** Pending remediation validation.
