## What Was Delivered

### 1. Core Integration Infrastructure ✅

#### Plugin Architecture
- **FrameworkIntegration** abstract base class defining integration interface
- **IntegrationRegistry** with automatic discovery and registration
- Zero-dependency core - frameworks are optional

#### Public API
```python
import arvak

# Check available integrations
status = hiq.integration_status()
integrations = hiq.list_integrations()

# Get specific integration
qiskit = hiq.get_integration('qiskit')
hiq_circuit = qiskit.to_hiq(qiskit_circuit)
```

### 2. Qiskit Integration ✅

#### Complete Qiskit Support
- **Bi-directional conversion**: Qiskit ↔ HIQ via OpenQASM 3.0
- **Backend provider**: Use HIQ as Qiskit backend
- **Standard API**: Compatible with Qiskit's backend.run() interface

#### Example Usage
```python
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from hiq.integrations.qiskit import HIQProvider, qiskit_to_hiq

# Convert circuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)
hiq_circuit = qiskit_to_hiq(qc)

# Use as backend
provider = HIQProvider()
backend = provider.get_backend('sim')
job = backend.run(qc, shots=1000)
```

## What's Ready for Next Steps

The foundation is complete for adding:

### Phase 5: Qrisp Integration (30 minutes)
```bash
python notebooks/generate_notebook.py qrisp 03
cp -r python/hiq/integrations/qiskit python/hiq/integrations/qrisp
# Edit files for Qrisp-specific code
```

### Phase 6: Cirq Integration (30 minutes)
```bash
python notebooks/generate_notebook.py cirq 04
cp -r python/hiq/integrations/qiskit python/hiq/integrations/cirq
# Edit files for Cirq-specific code
```

### Future Frameworks
With this architecture, adding support for these becomes trivial:
- PennyLane
- ProjectQ
- Strawberry Fields
- AWS Braket
- Azure Quantum
- Google Quantum AI
- Rigetti Forest
- IonQ
- Quantinuum

## How to Use Right Now

### 1. Test the System
```bash
cd crates/arvak-python
python3 verify_integration_system.py
```

### 2. Try Core HIQ
```bash
jupyter notebook notebooks/01_core_hiq.ipynb
```

### 3. Add Qiskit (Optional)
```bash
pip install qiskit qiskit-aer
jupyter notebook notebooks/02_qiskit_integration.ipynb
```

### 4. Add Your Framework
```bash
python notebooks/generate_notebook.py yourframework 03
# Follow INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md
```

## Technical Highlights

### Auto-Discovery Magic
Integrations are automatically discovered and registered:
```python
# On import, this happens automatically:
for module in pkgutil.iter_modules(integrations.__path__):
    try:
        importlib.import_module(f'.{module.name}', 'hiq.integrations')
    except ImportError:
        pass  # Missing dependencies - no problem!
```

### OpenQASM 3.0 as Interchange
Universal compatibility through standardized format:
```python
# Any framework with QASM support can integrate
qasm_str = framework_circuit.to_qasm3()
hiq_circuit = hiq.from_qasm(qasm_str)
```

### Graceful Degradation
Works perfectly whether dependencies are installed or not:
```python
# No frameworks installed
>>> hiq.list_integrations()
{}

# Qiskit installed
>>> hiq.list_integrations()
{'qiskit': True}
```
