1//! Enhanced Clifford/Stabilizer simulator using sparse representations
2//!
3//! This implementation leverages sparse matrix capabilities for efficient
4//! simulation of large Clifford circuits, providing better memory usage and
5//! performance for circuits with many qubits.
6
7// POLICY EXCEPTION: Uses nalgebra_sparse (not scirs2_sparse)
8//
9// REASON: scirs2_sparse v0.1.0-rc.1 requires Float trait bounds (f32/f64),
10//         but this module uses u8 for binary Pauli operator representations.
11//
12// TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION:
13// - Memory efficiency: u8 (1 byte) vs f64 (8 bytes) = 8x savings for large qubit counts
14// - Semantic correctness: Values are truly binary (0/1), not floating point
15// - Performance: Integer operations faster than FP arithmetic
16//
17// MIGRATION PATH: Will migrate when scirs2_sparse adds integer type support
18//
19// See: /tmp/CRITICAL_SCIRS2_SPARSE_LIMITATION.md for detailed analysis
