cpx-mat2by2

To power the rust-quantum project, this library provides a robust AltMat type for a single qubit, specifically optimized for the intensive complex number multiplications required for quantum gate applications and tensor product operations.

Key Features

• AltMat Type: A versatile enum that can represent various types of 2x2 complex matrices relevant to quantum computing:
  • Rank-0 (Zero matrix)
  • Rank-1 Projectors
  • Rank-1 Nilpotent matrices
  • General Rank-1 matrices
  • Pauli matrices (I, X, Y, Z) with complex scaling
  • General Rank-2 matrices (via Singular Value Decomposition)
• Optimized for Quantum Operations: Designed with the performance requirements of quantum gate applications in mind, focusing on efficient complex number multiplication.
• Integration with cpx-coords: Leverages the cpx-coords crate for robust and accurate complex number arithmetic.
• Core Quantum Concepts: Provides structures and methods for representing quantum states (State), projectors, and related linear algebra concepts.
• Essential Matrix Operations: Includes methods for regularization, normalization, matrix conversion, trace calculation, and more.
• Hashing: Implements the Hash trait for all core types, enabling their use in data structures like hash maps and sets.
