oxicuda-quantum 0.5.3

//! Simon's algorithm.
//!
//! Given a two-to-one (or one-to-one) Boolean function `f : {0,1}^n → {0,1}^n`
//! with the promise `f(x) = f(y) ⇔ y = x ⊕ s` for some hidden period
//! `s ∈ {0,1}^n`, Simon's algorithm recovers `s` with `O(n)` quantum queries —
//! an *exponential* speed-up over the `Θ(2^{n/2})` classical lower bound. It is
//! the historical precursor to Shor's algorithm: a single run of the quantum
//! circuit returns a uniformly random bit-string `y` satisfying `y · s = 0
//! (mod 2)`, and after collecting `n − 1` linearly independent such constraints
//! the hidden string is fixed (up to the trivial all-zero solution when
//! `s = 0`).
//!
//! ## Circuit (on `2n` qubits)
//!
//! The first `n` qubits form the *query* register, the second `n` the *output*
//! register (this crate is **little-endian**, so query bit `i` ↦ qubit `i` and
//! output bit `j` ↦ qubit `n + j`):
//!
//! 1. Prepare `H^{⊗n}` on the query register.
//! 2. Apply the oracle `U_f|x⟩|0⟩ = |x⟩|f(x)⟩`.
//! 3. Apply `H^{⊗n}` on the query register again.
//! 4. Measure the query register — the outcome `y` is orthogonal to `s`.
//!
//! ## Classical post-processing
//!
//! The sampled constraints are assembled into a binary matrix and reduced to
//! row-echelon form over `GF(2)`; the unique non-trivial vector in the kernel is
//! the period `s`. [`recover_period_from_constraints`] exposes this solver
//! independently of the quantum sampler.
