1//! Quantum Counting and Amplitude Estimation
2//!
3//! This module implements quantum counting and amplitude estimation algorithms,
4//! which are key components for many quantum algorithms including Shor's algorithm
5//! and quantum database search.
6//!
7//! TODO: The current implementations are simplified versions. Full implementations
8//! would require:
9//! - Proper controlled unitary implementations
10//! - Full QFT and inverse QFT
11//! - Better phase extraction from measurement results
12//! - Integration with circuit builder for more complex operations
