Quantum Computing operators
7 operators in the quantum_computing category of the live registry. Each is a named formula you can compose inside a state contract or call directly through POST /api/zeq/compute. KO42 is always on; add up to three more per call (total ≤ 4), per the 7-step protocol.
| Operator | Description | Equation |
|---|---|---|
ENTANGLEMENT_ENTROPY | Entanglement entropy S = -Tr(rho * log(rho)) quantifying quantum entanglement via the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix. | S = -Tr(\rho \log \rho) |
GROVER_SEARCH | Grover's quantum search algorithm finding a marked item in O(sqrt(N)) queries, quadratic speedup over classical search. | O(\sqrt{N}) |
QUANTUM_SIM | Quantum simulation state |psi> = sum(c_i|i>) representing a quantum system as a superposition of computational basis states. | |\psi\rangle = \sum_i c_i |i\rangle |
QUBIT_DECOHERENCE | Qubit decoherence |psi(t)> = e^(-t/T2)*|psi(0)> modeling exponential loss of quantum coherence over time. | |\psi(t)\rangle = e^{-t/T_2}|\psi(0)\rangle |
QUBIT_FIDELITY | Qubit state fidelity F = |<psi|phi>|^2 measuring the overlap between an ideal and actual quantum state. | F = |\langle\psi|\phi\rangle|^2 |
QUBIT_GATE | Quantum gate operation |psi'> = U|psi> applying a unitary matrix U to transform a qubit state. | |\psi\'\rangle = U|\psi\rangle |
SHOR_FACTOR | Shor's factoring algorithm decomposing an integer N in O((log N)^3) time using quantum Fourier transform. | O((\log N)^3) |

The response carries the bare physics value, its unit and uncertainty, the generated master equation, and a signed envelope you can verify on any node.
