🔧 Quick Start¶

Basic Quantum Bayesian Network¶

from probabilistic_quantum_reasoner import QuantumBayesianNetwork
from probabilistic_quantum_reasoner.backends import ClassicalSimulator
import numpy as np

# Create network with classical simulator
backend = ClassicalSimulator()
network = QuantumBayesianNetwork("WeatherModel", backend)

# Add quantum node for weather uncertainty
weather = network.add_quantum_node(
    "weather",
    outcome_space=["sunny", "rainy"],
    initial_amplitudes=np.array([0.8, 0.6], dtype=complex)
)

# Add classical node for mood
mood = network.add_stochastic_node(
    "mood", 
    outcome_space=["happy", "sad"]
)

# Connect weather influences mood
network.add_edge(weather, mood)

# Perform inference
result = network.infer(evidence={"weather": "sunny"})
print(f"P(mood=happy|weather=sunny) = {result.marginal_probabilities['mood']['happy']:.3f}")

Quantum Causal Intervention¶

# Perform intervention (do-calculus)
intervention_result = network.intervene(
    interventions={"weather": "rainy"},
    query_nodes=["mood"]
)

print("Effect of making it rain:")
print(f"P(mood=happy|do(weather=rainy)) = {intervention_result.marginal_probabilities['mood']['happy']:.3f}")

Quantum Entanglement¶

# Create entangled quantum variables
network.entangle(["weather", "mood"])

# This creates quantum correlations that can enhance inference
entangled_result = network.infer(query_nodes=["weather", "mood"])
print("Entangled quantum state probabilities:")
for outcome, prob in entangled_result.marginal_probabilities.items():
    print(f"{outcome}: {prob}")
