+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cargo add ruqu-exotic
+```
+
+## Quantum Memory Decay
+
+Model temporal coherence loss in memory systems:
+
+```rust
+use ruqu_exotic::quantum_decay::{DecayModel, MemoryState};
+
+let model = DecayModel::new()
+    .t1(100.0)      // Amplitude decay time (μs)
+    .t2(50.0)       // Phase decay time (μs)
+    .temperature(0.02);  // Thermal noise
+
+let state = MemoryState::from_embedding(embedding);
+let decayed = model.evolve(state, time: 10.0)?;
+
+println!("Fidelity after 10μs: {:.2}%", decayed.fidelity() * 100.0);
+```
+
+## Interference Search
+
+Quantum-inspired amplitude interference for similarity search:
+
+```rust
+use ruqu_exotic::interference_search::{InterferenceIndex, Query};
+
+let mut index = InterferenceIndex::new(dimension: 384);
+index.add_vectors(&embeddings)?;
+
+// Constructive interference amplifies similar vectors
+let query = Query::new(query_embedding)
+    .interference_rounds(3)
+    .phase_kickback(true);
+
+let results = index.search(query, k: 10)?;
+```
+
+## Reasoning Error Correction
+
+Detect and correct errors in AI reasoning chains:
+
+```rust
+use ruqu_exotic::reasoning_qec::{ReasoningCode, LogicalChain};
+
+let code = ReasoningCode::new()
+    .redundancy(3)           // Triple modular redundancy
+    .syndrome_bits(2);       // Error detection bits
+
+let chain = LogicalChain::from_steps(&[
+    "Premise: All A are B",
+    "Premise: X is A",
+    "Conclusion: X is B"
+]);
+
+let protected = code.encode(chain)?;
+let (decoded, errors) = code.decode_and_correct(protected)?;
+println!("Detected {} logical errors", errors.len());
+```
+
+## Swarm Interference
+
+Coordinate multi-agent systems with quantum interference:
+
+```rust
+use ruqu_exotic::swarm_interference::{SwarmState, Agent};
+
+let mut swarm = SwarmState::new(n_agents: 8);
+
+// Agents interfere constructively on consensus
+for round in 0..10 {
+    swarm.apply_interference()?;
+    swarm.measure_partial()?;  // Partial collapse
+}
+
+let consensus = swarm.final_state()?;
+```
+
+## Syndrome Diagnosis
+
+Detect error patterns in distributed systems:
+
+```rust
+use ruqu_exotic::syndrome_diagnosis::{Diagnostics, Pattern};
+
+let diag = Diagnostics::new()
+    .stabilizers(&["XXXX", "ZZZZ"])
+    .measurement_noise(0.01);
+
+let syndromes = diag.measure(&system_state)?;
+let errors = diag.decode_syndromes(syndromes)?;
+
+for error in errors {
+    println!("Error at {:?}: {:?}", error.location, error.type_);
+}
+```
+
+## Reversible Memory
+
+Quantum-reversible operations for undo/redo:
+
+```rust
+use ruqu_exotic::reversible_memory::{ReversibleStore, Operation};
+
+let mut store = ReversibleStore::new();
+
+store.apply(Operation::Insert { key: "a", value: vec![1,2,3] })?;
+store.apply(Operation::Update { key: "a", value: vec![4,5,6] })?;
+
+// Perfect reversal via uncompute
+store.reverse_last()?;  // Back to [1,2,3]
+store.reverse_last()?;  // Back to empty
+```
+
+## Integration with RuVector
+
+These algorithms integrate with the [RuVector](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector) vector database for quantum-enhanced AI:
+
+```rust
+use ruvector_core::Index;
+use ruqu_exotic::interference_search::InterferenceIndex;
+
+// Wrap RuVector index with interference search
+let base_index = Index::new(config)?;
+let quantum_index = InterferenceIndex::wrap(base_index)?;
+```

+//! # Quantum Collapse Search
+//!
+//! Instead of deterministic top-k retrieval, encode search candidates as
+//! quantum amplitudes. Apply Grover-like iterations biased by query similarity,
+//! then "measure" to collapse to a single result. Nondeterministic but
+//! statistically stable -- repeated shots converge to a reproducible
+//! frequency distribution weighted by relevance.
+//!
+//! ## Algorithm
+//!
+//! 1. Initialise a uniform superposition over all candidate slots.
+//! 2. **Oracle**: apply a phase rotation proportional to cosine similarity
+//!    between the query and each candidate embedding.
+//! 3. **Diffusion**: inversion about the mean amplitude (Grover diffusion).
+//! 4. Repeat for the requested number of iterations.
+//! 5. **Collapse**: sample one index from the |amplitude|^2 distribution.
+//!
+//! The oracle biases the superposition toward high-similarity candidates.
+//! Multiple collapses yield a frequency distribution that concentrates on
+//! the most relevant candidates while still allowing serendipitous discovery.

+//! Quantum Decay -- Embeddings decohere instead of being deleted
+//!
+//! Treats f64 embedding vectors as quantum state amplitudes.  Applies quantum
+//! noise channels (dephasing, amplitude damping) over time instead of TTL
+//! deletion.  Cold vectors lose phase fidelity before magnitude, and similarity
+//! degrades smoothly rather than disappearing at a hard deadline.
+//!
+//! # Model
+//!
+//! Two physical noise channels are applied each time [`QuantumEmbedding::decohere`]
+//! is called:
+//!
+//! 1. **Dephasing (T2)** -- random Rz-like phase kicks on every amplitude.
+//!    Magnitudes are preserved but phase coherence is scrambled.
+//! 2. **Amplitude damping (T1)** -- amplitudes decay toward the |0> ground
+//!    state, modelling energy dissipation.  Probability leaked from excited
+//!    states is transferred to the ground state.
+//!
+//! The `noise_rate` parameter controls how aggressively both channels act per
+//! unit of abstract time `dt`.

+//! # Reasoning QEC -- Quantum Error Correction for Reasoning Traces
+//!
+//! Treats reasoning steps like qubits. Each step is encoded as a quantum state
+//! (high confidence = close to |0>, low confidence = rotated toward |1>).
+//! Noise is injected to simulate reasoning errors, then a repetition-code-style
+//! syndrome extraction detects when adjacent steps become incoherent.
+//!
+//! This provides **structural** reasoning integrity checks, not semantic ones.
+//! The 1D repetition code uses:
+//! - N data qubits (one per reasoning step)
+//! - N-1 ancilla qubits (parity checks between adjacent steps)
+//! - Total: 2N - 1 qubits (maximum N = 13 to stay within 25-qubit limit)

+//! # Swarm Interference
+//!
+//! Agents don't vote -- they *interfere*. Each agent contributes a complex
+//! amplitude toward one or more actions. Conflicting agents cancel
+//! (destructive interference). Reinforcing agents amplify (constructive
+//! interference). The decision emerges from the interference pattern, not
+//! from a majority vote or consensus protocol.
+//!
+//! ## Model
+//!
+//! - **Action**: something the swarm can do, identified by an `id` string.
+//! - **Agent contribution**: a complex amplitude per action.  The *magnitude*
+//!   encodes confidence; the *phase* encodes stance (0 = support, pi = oppose).
+//! - **Decision**: for each action, sum all contributing amplitudes. The
+//!   resulting probability |sum|^2 determines the action's strength.
+//!
+//! Destructive interference naturally resolves conflicts: an action backed
+//! by 3 agents at phase 0 and opposed by 3 agents at phase pi has zero net
+//! amplitude, so it is detected as a deadlock.

+//!
+//! Treats AI system components as a graph. Injects artificial faults into
+//! a quantum encoding of the system. Extracts syndrome patterns using QEC logic
+//! (CNOT parity checks on ancilla qubits) to localize which component is fragile.
+//!
+//! This is **structural fault localization**, not log analysis. Multiple rounds
+//! of fault injection build statistical fragility profiles and detect components
+//! that propagate faults beyond their direct neighborhood.

+// DISCOVERY 7: Counterfactual Search Explanation
+//   (quantum_collapse + reversible_memory)
+//
+// Can we EXPLAIN why a quantum collapse search picked a particular result
+// by using counterfactual reasoning on the state preparation?
+//
+// Approach:
+//   1. Build a reversible memory with a sequence of gates that bias the
+//      probability distribution toward certain basis states.
+//   2. Extract the probability distribution and use it as the set of
+//      "candidate embeddings" for collapse search.
+//   3. Run the search to find the top result.
+//   4. For each gate in the preparation sequence, run counterfactual
+//      analysis (remove that gate) and see how the probability
+//      distribution --- and therefore the search result --- would change.
+//
+// HYPOTHESIS: The gate that created the most bias in the probability
+// space will have the highest counterfactual divergence, and removing
+// it will change the search result most dramatically.
