`

🎯 Quick Start

`typescript
import {
StateVector,
PauliX,
Hadamard,
CNOT,
measure,
DensityMatrix
} from 'ts-quantum';

// Create a qubit in |0⟩ state
const qubit = StateVector.computationalBasis(2, 0);

// Apply Hadamard gate to create superposition
const superposition = Hadamard.apply(qubit);

// Measure the state
const result = measure(superposition);
console.log(Measured: ${result.value} with probability ${result.probability});

// Create Bell state
const twoQubits = StateVector.computationalBasis(4, 0); // |00⟩
const bellState = CNOT.apply(Hadamard.extend(2).apply(twoQubits));

// Work with density matrices
const rho = DensityMatrix.fromStateVector(bellState);
console.log(Purity: ${rho.purity()});
console.log(Entropy: ${rho.vonNeumannEntropy()});
`

🧮 Requirements

- Node.js >= 14.0.0

📚 Core API

`typescript
// Create and manipulate quantum states
const state = new StateVector(dimension);
const |0⟩ = StateVector.computationalBasis(2, 0);
const |+⟩ = StateVector.superposition(2, [0, 1]);

// State operations
const normalized = state.normalize();
const probability = state.measurementProbability(index);
const overlap = state1.innerProduct(state2);
`

`typescript
// Single-qubit gates
const X = PauliX; // NOT gate
const Y = PauliY; // Y rotation
const Z = PauliZ; // Phase flip
const H = Hadamard; // Superposition gate
const S = PhaseGate; // Phase gate
const T = TGate; // π/8 gate

// Multi-qubit gates
const cx = CNOT; // Controlled-X
const cy = ControlledY; // Controlled-Y
const cz = ControlledZ; // Controlled-Z

// Apply gates
const result = H.apply(state);
const extended = X.extend(2).apply(twoQubitState);
`

`typescript
// Computational basis measurement
const outcome = measure(state);

// Projective measurement with custom operator
const projection = projectiveMeasurement(state, operator);

// Measurement probabilities
const probs = state.measurementProbabilities();
`

`typescript
// Angular momentum
import { createAngularState, clebschGordan, wigner3j } from 'ts-quantum';

const |j,m⟩ = createAngularState(1, 0); // |1,0⟩ state
const cg = clebschGordan(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 0, 0); // Singlet coefficient
const w3j = wigner3j(1, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0); // 3j symbol

// Quantum distances
import { quantumDistance, fidelity } from 'ts-quantum';

const distance = quantumDistance(state1, state2);
const overlap = fidelity(rho1, rho2);
`

🔬 Examples

`typescript
import { StateVector, Hadamard, CNOT } from 'ts-quantum';

// |Φ⁺⟩ = (|00⟩ + |11⟩)/√2
const phi_plus = CNOT.apply(
Hadamard.extend(2).apply(
StateVector.computationalBasis(4, 0)
)
);

// Verify maximum entanglement
const rho = DensityMatrix.fromStateVector(phi_plus);
console.log(Entanglement entropy: ${rho.vonNeumannEntropy()}); // ≈ 0.693
`

`typescript
import { StateVector, hadamardWalk } from 'ts-quantum';

// 1D quantum random walk
const walker = hadamardWalk(position: 0, steps: 10);
const finalState = walker.evolve();
`

`typescript
import { createAngularState, coupleAngularMomenta } from 'ts-quantum';

// Couple two spin-1/2 particles
const spin1 = createAngularState(0.5, 0.5); // |↑⟩
const spin2 = createAngularState(0.5, -0.5); // |↓⟩

// Create coupled states in both singlet and triplet channels
const { singlet, triplet } = coupleAngularMomenta(spin1, spin2);
