AI→QC Implementation Progress
Overview
This document tracks the implementation of AI enhancements for quantum computing, based on the research in docs/research/ai_quantum_symbiosis/.
Goal: Close the virtuous cycle where AI improves quantum hardware utilization, which in turn improves the Quantum RAG system.

Research Reference
docs/research/ai_quantum_symbiosis/02_ai_error_correction.md
Concept
Train an LSTM on historical syndrome patterns to predict where errors will occur, enabling preemptive mitigation (dynamical decoupling, adjusted gates).
Architecture
Input: syndrome_history (T × num_syndrome_bits)
+ metadata (temperature, calibration_age, etc.)

Testing Changes
cd Documents/Learning/quantum_rag_demo
# Run unit tests
./quantum_env/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -v
# Test AI extensions specifically
./quantum_env/bin/python -c "from ai_extensions import error_predictor; print('OK')"Dependencies
AI extensions require:
- torch (for neural networks)
- numpy (for Kalman filter)
- filterpy (optional, for advanced Kalman)
Install with:
./quantum_env/bin/pip install torch numpyChangelog
