v0.5.0 — Crypto Hardware Experiments
What's New
3 Crypto Hardware Experiments
bell_test_4q: CHSH Bell inequality test — certifies K_nm entanglement on hardware via ZZ/ZX/XZ/XX correlatorscorrelator_4q: 4×4 connected ZZ correlation matrix — validates coupling topology in hardware measurementsqkd_qber_4q: Quantum bit error rate from Z-basis and X-basis measurements — checks BB84 security threshold (QBER < 0.11)
All three reuse the existing VQE ground-state preparation (prepare_key_state) and follow the standard experiment signature. Awaiting March QPU budget for ibm_fez execution.
Documentation Sweep
- Toned down over-claiming language ("first quantum simulation" → "hardware attempt at full 16-layer UPDE snapshot")
- Fixed stale counts everywhere: 411 tests across 46 files, 20 experiments in registry
- Rewrote ROADMAP.md (was listing v0.2.0 as future)
- Added crypto module documentation to README, quickstart, index, experiment roadmap
- Added Claim 6 (crypto) to paper claims document
- Marked 3 crypto hardware experiments as implemented in research branch docs
Numbers
- Tests: 411 passing (408 → 411)
- Experiments: 20 in
