Quantum Core

01. Architecture

Quantum Core is the mathematical substrate of the P31 stack — a TypeScript library providing post-quantum cryptographic primitives, SIC-POVM swarm coordination, and a bridge to IBM Quantum hardware. It is consumed as a dependency by Kenosis, Genesis Gate, and Node Zero.

• ▸
  FIPS-203 (ML-KEM / Kyber) + FIPS-204 (ML-DSA / Dilithium) NIST-standardized post-quantum key encapsulation and digital signatures. Implemented in src/pqc/fips203-204.ts. These primitives replace RSA/ECDSA in all P31 identity and signing operations.
• ▸
  SIC-POVM Swarm Manager src/swarm/SicPovmSwarmManager.ts — coordinates measurement assignments across the 7-node Kenosis topology. Each worker node is assigned one of the d=2 SIC-POVM tetrahedral measurement axes.
• ▸
  IBM Quantum Bridge src/ibmQuantumBridge.ts — submits circuits to IBM Quantum backends via the Qiskit Runtime API. Used for Posner molecule simulation and SIC-POVM fidelity verification against real hardware.
• ▸
  Algorithm Primitives src/algorithms/quantumAlgorithms.ts — Grover's search, amplitude estimation, phase estimation. src/monitoring/quantumSystemMonitor.ts tracks coherence times and gate fidelity.
• ▸
  Performance Baseline src/optimization/performanceBaseline.ts — classical vs. quantum comparison harness. Tracks which operations benefit from quantum speedup vs. which remain classical for efficiency.

02. Research Context

Quantum Core exists because the P31 thesis rests on a specific physical claim: the Posner molecule (Ca₉(PO₄)₆) protects ³¹P nuclear spin coherence long enough for biologically meaningful quantum operations. Quantum Core provides the computational substrate to model and verify this.
