# HIQ Framework Integration Status

## Overview

HIQ now supports **extensible multi-framework integration** with a plugin architecture that makes adding new quantum frameworks trivial.

## Implemented Integrations

### ✅ Qiskit Integration (Complete)
- **Status**: Production ready
- **Files**: 3 integration files, 1 notebook, 1 test file
- **Tests**: 14 registry tests + Qiskit integration tests
- **Features**:
  - Bi-directional circuit conversion (Qiskit ↔ HIQ)
  - Backend provider (use HIQ as Qiskit backend)
  - OpenQASM 3.0 interchange format
  - Standard Qiskit API compatibility
- **Installation**: `pip install arvak[qiskit]`

### ✅ Qrisp Integration (Complete)
- **Status**: Production ready
- **Files**: 3 integration files, 1 notebook, 1 test file
- **Tests**: 22 comprehensive tests (skip gracefully without Qrisp)
- **Features**:
  - Bi-directional circuit conversion (Qrisp ↔ HIQ)
  - QuantumVariable and QuantumSession support

### ⏸️ Cirq Integration (Planned)
- **Status**: Template ready, ~30 minutes to implement
- **Next Steps**:
  1. `python notebooks/generate_notebook.py cirq 04`
  2. Create `python/hiq/integrations/cirq/`
  3. Implement converter and backend
  4. Add tests
- **Installation**: `pip install arvak[cirq]` (when ready)

## Public API

```python
import arvak

# List available integrations
integrations = hiq.list_integrations()
# {'qiskit': True, 'qrisp': False, 'cirq': False}

# Get detailed status
status = hiq.integration_status()
# {
#     'qiskit': {
#         'name': 'qiskit',
#         'available': True,
#         'packages': ['qiskit>=1.0.0']
#     },
#     'qrisp': {
#         'name': 'qrisp',
#         'available': False,
#         'packages': ['qrisp>=0.4.0']
#     }
# }

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

## Installation Options

```bash
# Core HIQ only (no framework dependencies)
pip install arvak

## Usage Examples

### Qiskit Integration

```python
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
import arvak

# Create Qiskit circuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)

# Get integration
integration = hiq.get_integration('qiskit')

# Convert to HIQ
hiq_circuit = integration.to_hiq(qc)

# Use HIQ as Qiskit backend
from hiq.integrations.qiskit import HIQProvider
provider = HIQProvider()
backend = provider.get_backend('sim')
job = backend.run(qc, shots=1000)
result = job.result()
```

### Qrisp Integration

```python
from qrisp import QuantumCircuit, QuantumVariable
import arvak

# Method 1: QuantumCircuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)

integration = hiq.get_integration('qrisp')
hiq_circuit = integration.to_hiq(qc)

# Method 2: QuantumVariable (high-level)
from qrisp import h
qv = QuantumVariable(3)
h(qv[0])
qv.cx(0, 1)

# Convert QuantumSession
compiled = qv.qs.compile()
hiq_from_qv = integration.to_hiq(compiled)

# Use HIQ backend
from hiq.integrations.qrisp import HIQBackendClient
backend = HIQBackendClient('sim')
results = backend.run(qc, shots=1000)
```
