//! Statevector quantum simulation.
//!
//! This module provides a high-performance statevector simulator for quantum circuits.
//! It supports:
//! - Single-qubit and multi-qubit gate operations
//! - Controlled and multi-controlled gates
//! - Parameterized rotations (RX, RY, RZ, etc.)
//! - Native gates for superconducting qubits (fSim, XY)
//! - Parallel execution for large statevectors using Rayon
//!
//! # Performance Features
//! - Automatic parallelization threshold (14+ qubits)
//! - Specialized kernels for common gates (avoiding generic matrix multiplication)
//! - Memory-efficient in-place operations
//! - Contiguous memory layout compatible with C/NumPy
//!
//! # Example
//! ```rust
//! use cqlib_core::qis::Statevector;
//!
//! // Create Bell state |Φ+⟩ = (|00⟩ + |11⟩)/√2
//! let mut sv = Statevector::new(2);
//! sv.apply_h(0);
//! sv.apply_cx(0, 1);
//!
//! let probs = sv.probabilities();
//! assert!((probs[0] - 0.5).abs() < 1e-10);
//! assert!((probs[3] - 0.5).abs() < 1e-10);
//! ```

//     term2  = a_perm * broadcast(u_im) → [a0.im·u_im, a0.re·u_im, …]
//     result = addsub(term1, term2)  → even indices subtract, odd add:
