//! Quantum Speed Limit Validators - Margolus-Levitin Theorem Implementation
//!
//! This module implements rigorous validation of quantum computation speed limits
//! based on the Margolus-Levitin theorem, which establishes the fundamental
//! limit on the speed of quantum computation.
//!
//! ## Margolus-Levitin Theorem
//!
//! The theorem states that the minimum time required for a quantum system
//! to evolve from one state to an orthogonal state is:
//!
//! ```text
//! τ_min = h / (4 * ΔE)
//! ```
//!
//! Where:
//! - τ_min: minimum computation time
//! - h: Planck constant
//! - ΔE: energy difference between states
//!
//! This provides a fundamental bound on computation speed that cannot be
//! violated by any physical system, quantum or classical.
