## 📦 Installation

### Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)
```bash
pip install hqde
```

### Option 2: Install from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Prathmesh333/HQDE-PyPI.git
cd HQDE-PyPI
pip install -e .
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

```python
from hqde import create_hqde_system
import torch.nn as nn

# Define your PyTorch model
class MyModel(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, num_classes=10):
        super().__init__()
        self.layers = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Conv2d(3, 32, 3, padding=1),
            nn.ReLU(),
            nn.MaxPool2d(2),
            nn.Conv2d(32, 64, 3, padding=1),
            nn.ReLU(),
            nn.AdaptiveAvgPool2d(1),
            nn.Flatten(),
            nn.Linear(64, num_classes)
        )

    def forward(self, x):
        return self.layers(x)

# Create HQDE system (it's that simple!)
hqde_system = create_hqde_system(
    model_class=MyModel,
    model_kwargs={'num_classes': 10},
    num_workers=4  # Use 4 distributed workers
)

# Train your ensemble
metrics = hqde_system.train(train_loader, num_epochs=10)

# Make predictions
predictions = hqde_system.predict(test_loader)
```

## 🔧 Configuration

Customize HQDE for your needs:

```python
# Fine-tune quantization
quantization_config = {
    'base_bits': 8,      # Default precision
    'min_bits': 4,       # High compression
    'max_bits': 16       # High precision
}

# Adjust quantum parameters
aggregation_config = {
    'noise_scale': 0.005,           # Quantum noise level
    'exploration_factor': 0.1,      # Exploration strength
    'entanglement_strength': 0.1    # Ensemble correlation
}

# Scale distributed processing
hqde_system = create_hqde_system(
    model_class=YourModel,
    num_workers=8,  # Scale up for larger datasets
    quantization_config=quantization_config,
    aggregation_config=aggregation_config
)
```
