---

### Building Rust Backends (Optional but Recommended)

For **maximum performance**, build the Rust backends:

**Requirements:**
- Rust 1.70+ (`curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh`)
- Python development headers (`apt install python3-dev`)

**Build steps:**
```bash
cd atlas_q_core

# Build with release optimizations

# Install the compiled library
cp target/release/libatlas_q_core.so ../atlas_q_core.so
cp ../atlas_q_core.so ../src/
```

**Performance gains:**
- Stabilizer: **9.3× faster than Qiskit Aer**
- Statevector: **30-77× faster than Python**
- Library size: Only 582 KB
- Zero runtime dependencies

**Verify installation:**
```python
import atlas_q_core
print(f"Rust backends v{atlas_q_core.__version__} installed!")

# Test stabilizer
sim = atlas_q_core.StabilizerSimulatorRust(5)
sim.h(0)
sim.cnot(0, 1)
print(f"Stabilizer: {sim.sample(10)}")

# Test statevector
sim = atlas_q_core.StatevectorSimulatorRust(3)
sim.h(0)
sim.cnot(0, 1)
sim.cnot(1, 2)
print(f"Statevector: {sim.sample(10)}")
```

---

### GPU Acceleration Setup

The `setup_triton.sh` script automatically detects your GPU and configures Triton kernels:

- **Auto-detects:** V100, A100, H100, GB100/GB200, and future architectures
- **Configures:** `TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST` and `TRITON_PTXAS_PATH`
- **Persists:** Adds settings to `~/.bashrc`

**Performance gains:** 1.5-3× faster gate operations, 100-1000× faster period-finding

---

### Command-Line Interface

ATLAS-Q includes a CLI for quick operations:

```bash
# Show help
python -m atlas_q --help

# Factor a number
python -m atlas_q factor 221

# Run all benchmarks
python -m atlas_q benchmark

# Show system info
python -m atlas_q info

# Interactive demo
python -m atlas_q demo
```

See [COMPLETE_GUIDE.md](docs/COMPLETE_GUIDE.md#command-line-interface) for full CLI documentation.

---

## Examples

### Drop-in Qiskit/Cirq Adapters (NEW!)

**Zero code changes** - Use ATLAS-Q as a drop-in replacement for Qiskit Aer or Cirq simulators with automatic optimization.

**Install adapters:**
```bash
pip install atlas-quantum[adapters] # Both Qiskit and Cirq
# or
pip install atlas-quantum[qiskit] # Qiskit only
pip install atlas-quantum[cirq] # Cirq only
```

**Qiskit example:**
```python
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from atlas_q.adapters import ATLASQBackend

# Replace Qiskit Aer with ATLAS-Q
backend = ATLASQBackend() # Auto IR, MPS, GPU, coherence

# Your existing Qiskit code works unchanged
qc = QuantumCircuit(4)
qc.ry(0.5, 0)
qc.cx(0, 1)
qc.measure_all()

job = backend.run(qc, shots=1000)
result = job.result()
print(result.get_counts())

# Bonus: Get automatic coherence metrics for VQE
metadata = result.results[0].header
print(f"Backend used: {metadata['backend_used']}") # stabilizer/mps/statevector
print(f"IR compression: {metadata['ir_compression_ratio']}") # 5x reduction
```

**Cirq example:**
```python
import cirq
from atlas_q.adapters import ATLASQSimulator

# Replace Cirq simulator with ATLAS-Q
simulator = ATLASQSimulator() # Auto IR, MPS, GPU, coherence

# Your existing Cirq code works unchanged
qubits = cirq.LineQubit.range(4)
circuit = cirq.Circuit(
cirq.ry(0.5)(qubits[0]),
cirq.CNOT(qubits[0], qubits[1]),
cirq.measure(*qubits, key='m')
)

result = simulator.run(circuit, repetitions=1000)
print(result.histogram(key='m'))
```

**What you get automatically:**
- **5× measurement reduction**: IR grouping for VQE observables
- **20× speedup**: Stabilizer backend for Clifford circuits
- **626,000× memory efficiency**: MPS for large circuits (>25 qubits)
- **1.5-3× GPU speedup**: Triton kernels transparent
- **Quality validation**: Coherence metrics (R̄) for VQE results

See [benchmarks/adapter_comparison_benchmark.py](benchmarks/adapter_comparison_benchmark.py) for detailed comparisons.

---

### Coherence-Aware Quantum Chemistry (NEW!)

**World's first quantum algorithm with self-diagnostic capabilities** - validates trustworthiness in real-time using physics-derived thresholds.

```python
from atlas_q.coherence_aware_vqe import CoherenceAwareVQE, VQEConfig
from atlas_q.mpo_ops import MPOBuilder

# Build molecular Hamiltonian
H = MPOBuilder.molecular_hamiltonian_from_specs(
molecule='H2O',
basis='sto-3g',
device='cuda'
)

# Run coherence-aware VQE
config = VQEConfig(ansatz='hardware_efficient', n_layers=3, chi_max=256)
vqe = CoherenceAwareVQE(H, config, enable_coherence_tracking=True)
result = vqe.run()

# Check results with automatic quality validation
print(f"Ground state energy: {result.energy:.6f} Ha")
print(f"Coherence R̄: {result.coherence.R_bar:.4f}")
print(f"Classification: {result.classification}") # GO or NO-GO

if result.is_go():
print(" Results are trustworthy (R̄ > e^-2 = 0.135)")
else:
print(" Low coherence detected - results may be unreliable")
```

**Hardware validated**: Achieved R̄=0.988 (near-perfect coherence) on IBM Brisbane for H2O (14 qubits, 1086 Pauli terms) with 5× measurement compression via IR grouping.

### Tensor Network Simulation

```python
from atlas_q.adaptive_mps import AdaptiveMPS
import torch

# Create 10-qubit system with adaptive bond dimensions
mps = AdaptiveMPS(10, bond_dim=8, device='cuda')

# Apply Hadamard gates
H = torch.tensor([[1,1],[1,-1]], dtype=torch.complex64)/torch.sqrt(torch.tensor(2.0))
for q in range(10):
mps.apply_single_qubit_gate(q, H.to('cuda'))

# Apply CNOT gates
CNOT = torch.tensor([[1,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0],[0,0,0,1],[0,0,1,0]],
dtype=torch.complex64).reshape(4,4).to('cuda')
for q in range(0, 9, 2):
mps.apply_two_site_gate(q, CNOT)

print(f"Max bond dimension: {mps.stats_summary()['max_chi']}")
print(f"Memory usage: {mps.memory_usage() / (1024**2):.2f} MB")
```

### Period-Finding & Factorization

```python
from atlas_q import get_quantum_sim

# Get quantum classical hybrid simulator
QuantumClassicalHybrid, _, _, _ = get_quantum_sim()
qc = QuantumClassicalHybrid()

# Factor semiprimes
factors = qc.factor_number(143) # Returns [11, 13]
print(f"143 = {factors[0]} × {factors[1]}")

# Verified against canonical benchmarks:
# - IBM 2001 (N=15): Pass
# - Photonic 2012 (N=21): Pass
# - NMR 2012 (N=143): Pass
```
