-% \section{Numerical results}
-%
-% % Intro
-%
-% In this section, we perform numerical experiments to evaluate the
-% modification to sliding-window decoding we introduced in
-% \Cref{sec:warm_start_bp}.
-% We chose to carry out our simulations on \ac{bb} codes, as they
-% \red{[something about qldpc codes being a hot topic in the literature
-% currently because of some promising properties]}.
-% Specifically, we chose the $\llbracket 144, 12, 12 \rrbracket$ BB
-% code, as this \red{[something something]}.\\
-% \red{[Circuit-level noise]} \\
-% \red{[Per-round LER]} \\
-% All datapoints have been generated by simulating at least $200$
-% logical error events.
-%
-% For the practical aspects of implementation, several layers of
-% abstraction must be considered.
-% The lowest layer is the circuit-level simulator.
-% This serves as the backbone of all further simulations.
-% It takes care of the quantum mechanical aspects of the system.
-% \red{It is, for example, responsible for the introduction of noise
-% [rephrase this]}.
-%
-% Moving one level of abstraction higher, aside from the circuit
-% simulation itself, the circuit also has to be generated.
-% E.g., the syndrome extraction circuitry must be defined and possible
-% sources of noise must be modeled.
-% This heavily depends on the code in question and the chosen noise model.
-% \red{[Find something more to say]}
-%
-% Even further up, we have already defined syndrome extraction
-% circuitry and built the \acf{dem}.
-% We must now split the detector error matrix into separate windows and
-% manage the interplay of the inner decoders acting on the individual
-% windows themselves.
-% \red{[Find something more to say]}
-%
-% Finally, we require the decoder itself.
-% This simply gets a \acf{pcm} and a syndrome with no regard
-% \red{[Rephrase this] for the complexity in the rest of the system}.
-%
-% In our implementations, Stim \cite{gidney_stim_2021} served as the
-% circuit-level simulator \red{[Possibly mention why stim was chosen]}.
-% For the circuit generation, we employed utilities from QUITS
-% \cite{kang_quits_2025}, where syndrome extraction circuitry
-% generation is implemented for a number of different \ac{qldpc} codes.
-% An initial Python implementation used QUITS for the window
-% splitting and subsequent sliding-window decoding as well.
-% The \ac{bp} and \ac{bpgd} decoders were also initially implemented in Python.
-% After a preliminary investigation, we opted for a complete
-% reimplementation in Rust to achieve higher simulation speeds due to
-% the compiled nature of the language.
-% We reimplemented both the window splitting and the decoders themselves.
