🎯 Basic Concepts

Before starting programming, understand these core concepts:

Qubits: Basic units of quantum computing, can be in |0⟩, |1⟩, or superposition
Quantum Gates: Unitary transformations on qubits, must be reversible
Quantum Circuits: Ordered sequences of quantum gates, executed left to right
Measurement: Collapse quantum states to classical bit states

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    println!("=== My First Quantum Circuit ===");
    
    // Create a 1-qubit, 1-classical-bit circuit
    let mut circuit = QuantumCircuit::new(1, 1);
    
    // Add Hadamard gate (create superposition)
    circuit.apply_gate(Gate::h(), &[0])?;
    
    // Add measurement
    circuit.measure(0, 0)?;
    
    // Display circuit information
    println!("Circuit depth: {}", circuit.depth());
    println!("Circuit size: {}", circuit.size());
    
    // Visualize circuit
    println!("Circuit diagram:");
    println!("{}", CircuitVisualizer::to_string(&circuit));

🚀 Performance Optimization Tips

1. Use Efficient Data Structures

1
2
// Use Vec<f64> for state vectors instead of complex numbers
let state_vector = vec![1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]; // |00⟩ state

2. Batch Operations

3
4
5
6
7
8
// Batch multiple gates for better performance
let mut circuit = QuantumCircuit::new(4, 0);
circuit.batch_apply(&[
    (Gate::h(), &[0]),
    (Gate::h(), &[1]),
    (Gate::h(), &[2]),
    (Gate::h(), &[3]),
])?;

3. Memory Management
