2//! RaBitQ — Random Binary Quantization.
3//!
4//! Reference: "RaBitQ: Quantizing High-Dimensional Vectors with a Theoretical
5//! Error Bound for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search" (SIGMOD 2024).
6//!
7//! Key idea: apply a random rotation P to each vector, then quantize each
8//! rotated dimension to 1 bit (sign). The unbiased inner-product estimator
9//! uses precomputed scale factors and a Hamming distance (XOR + popcount),
10//! achieving significantly better recall than naive binary quantization at
11//! the same 1 bit/dim storage cost.
12//!
13//! Storage per vector: ceil(dim/8) bytes (code) + 4 bytes (scale) + 4 bytes (norm)
14//! For dim=1536: 192 + 4 + 4 = 200 bytes vs F16 = 3 072 bytes → 15× compression.
