Core Components¶

1. QuantumBase Class¶

The foundation of all quantum-enhanced components:

class QuantumBase:
    """Abstract base class for all quantum-enhanced components."""

    def __init__(self, config: Optional[QuantumConfig] = None):
        self.quantum_state: QuantumState = QuantumState.COHERENT
        self.decoherence_level: float = 0.0
        self.entanglement_registry: Dict[str, Any] = {}
        self.config = config or QuantumConfig()

    async def initialize(self) -> None:
        """Initialize quantum state and resources."""
        pass

    async def reset_quantum_state(self) -> None:
        """Reset to coherent quantum state."""
        pass

    def create_entanglement(self, other: 'QuantumBase', strength: float) -> str:
        """Create entanglement with another quantum component."""
        pass

2. Quantum State Management¶

Quantum States¶

class QuantumState(Enum):
    COHERENT = "coherent"          # Pure quantum state
    SUPERPOSITION = "superposition" # Multiple states simultaneously
    ENTANGLED = "entangled"        # Correlated with other systems
    COLLAPSED = "collapsed"        # After measurement
    DECOHERENT = "decoherent"      # Lost quantum properties

Decoherence Tracking¶

def update_decoherence(self, delta: float):
    """Update decoherence level and manage state transitions."""
    self.decoherence_level = min(1.0, self.decoherence_level + delta)

    if self.decoherence_level > self.config.decoherence_threshold:
        self.quantum_state = QuantumState.DECOHERENT

3. Backend Architecture¶

Abstract Backend Interface¶

class QuantumBackend:
    """Abstract interface for quantum computing backends."""

    async def execute_circuit(self, circuit: Any, shots: int) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Execute quantum circuit and return results."""
        pass

    async def create_entangling_circuit(self, qubits: List[int]) -> Any:
        """Create circuit for entangling specified qubits."""
        pass

Design Principles¶

1. Quantum Coherence First¶

All operations are designed to preserve quantum coherence when possible:

Minimal Decoherence: Operations minimize quantum decoherence
Coherence Tracking: Real-time monitoring of quantum state quality
Graceful Degradation: Automatic fallback to classical methods when needed

2. Entanglement as a Service¶

Quantum entanglement is treated as a first-class resource:

# Create entanglement between memory systems
memory1 = QuantumMemory()
memory2 = QuantumMemory()
entanglement_id = memory1.create_entanglement(memory2, strength=0.8)

# Entangled operations affect both systems
await memory1.store("key", "value", quantum_enhanced=True)
# memory2 automatically reflects quantum correlations

3. Hybrid Classical-Quantum Execution¶

Seamless integration between classical and quantum processing:

async def hybrid_chain_execution(self, input_data):
    # Classical preprocessing
    processed_input = self.classical_preprocess(input_data)

    # Quantum enhancement
    if self.quantum_state != QuantumState.DECOHERENT:
        quantum_result = await self.quantum_process(processed_input)
    else:
        quantum_result = self.classical_fallback(processed_input)

    # Classical postprocessing
    return self.classical_postprocess(quantum_result)
