1.2 Key Components and Their Functions

2. Integration Point 1: Error Prediction for IBM Runs

2.1 The Opportunity

9. Next Steps

9.1 Implementation Priority

9.2 Data Collection First

Before implementing AI components, collect training data:

# Run data collection
python ai_extensions/collect_training_data.py --num_runs 10000 --output training_data.json

9.3 Validation Using Your Existing Framework

Your test suite can validate AI enhancements:

# File: /quantum_rag_demo/tests/test_ai_extensions.py

def test_error_predictor_improves_fidelity():
    """Test that error prediction improves results."""
    base_runner = IBMQuantumRunner()
    enhanced_runner = ErrorAwareIBMRunner(base_runner)

    results_base = [base_runner.execute(circuit) for circuit in test_circuits]
    results_enhanced = [enhanced_runner.execute(circuit) for circuit in test_circuits]

    assert mean(results_enhanced.fidelity) > mean(results_base.fidelity)

def test_adaptive_selector_outperforms_fixed():
    """Test that adaptive selection improves performance."""
    fixed_rag = QuantumRAG()  # Always uses quantum
    adaptive_rag = AdaptiveQuantumRAG()

    for query in test_queries:
        fixed_result = fixed_rag.search(query, documents)
        adaptive_result = adaptive_rag.search(query, documents)

        # Adaptive should be at least as good
        assert adaptive_result.score >= fixed_result.score * 0.95

10. Conclusion

This integration creates a complete feedback loop:
