# QuantinuumClaw – Quantum Guppy/Selene Stack

This skill provides everything needed to build production-ready quantum applications using **Quantinuum** (hardware/emulator), **Guppy** (quantum language), **Selene** (FastAPI backend), and **Fly.io** (deployment), with optional **Lovable** frontend. It is tuned for the **OpenClaw Clinical Hackathon** and general quantum web apps.

## When to Use This Skill

**Use when:**
- Building for the OpenClaw Clinical Hackathon or any clinical/healthcare quantum project
- Building web applications that use quantum computing (optimization, chemistry, ML, random, crypto)
- Deploying quantum algorithms as REST APIs or creating dashboards for quantum results
- User mentions: clinical, healthcare, drug discovery, treatment optimization, patient stratification, molecular simulation, clinical trials, Guppy, Selene, Fly.io

**Example requests:** "Build a quantum portfolio optimizer with a web interface" · "Deploy my Guppy algorithm to the cloud" · "Create a clinical molecular simulation demo" · "Set up a quantum ML service on Fly.io"

## Stack at a Glance

| Component   | Role |
|------------|------|
| **Quantinuum** | Quantum hardware (H-series) or emulator |
| **Guppy**      | Quantum programming (circuits, gates, measurement) |
| **Selene**     | FastAPI backend that runs Guppy and exposes REST API |
| **Fly.io**     | Hosts the Selene backend in the cloud |
| **Lovable**    | React/TS frontend template; use `assets/lovable-template/` or any app that calls the Selene API |

## Quick Start (One Command)

From the repo root:

```bash
python3 scripts/create_quantum_app.py \
  --app-name "clinical-demo" \
  --use-case "chemistry" \
  --description "Clinical molecular simulation" \
  --deploy
```

Then set `VITE_API_URL` in the frontend to your Fly.io app URL (e.g. `https://clinical-demo.fly.dev`).

**Clinical use-case → `--use-case` mapping:**

| Clinical idea                     | `--use-case`   | Notes |
|-----------------------------------|----------------|--------|
| Drug discovery / molecular sim    | `chemistry`    | Molecules, energy, properties |
| Treatment / resource optimization | `optimization` | QAOA-style optimization |
| Patient stratification / ML       | `ml`           | Quantum ML models |
| Trial randomization               | `random`       | Quantum RNG |
| Secure keys / protocols           | `crypto`       | Quantum-safe crypto |

General use cases (portfolio, finance, etc.) also use `optimization`, `chemistry`, `ml`, `random`, `crypto`, or `finance`. See `references/clinical-use-cases.md` for detailed clinical mappings.

## Full Workflow: Creating a Quantum Application

### Step 1: Define the use case
Identify the problem (optimization, simulation, ML, cryptography, clinical, etc.).

### Step 2: Create Selene backend
```bash
python3 scripts/setup_selene_service.py \
  --app-name "my-quantum-app" \
  --use-case "chemistry" \
  --description "Quantum chemistry simulator"
```
This creates a backend dir with FastAPI, health check, Dockerfile, and `fly.toml`.

### Step 3: Implement your Guppy circuit
Edit `my-quantum-app/main.py` → `QuantumService._run_real_quantum()`. Use `references/guppy_guide.md` for syntax. For clinical: chemistry (molecule, shots, precision), optimization (objective, constraints), ML (features, epochs).

### Step 4: Deploy to Fly.io
```bash
python3 scripts/flyio_deploy.py --app-name "my-quantum-app" --service-dir "my-quantum-app" --region "lhr"
```
Set secrets with `fly secrets set`; use emulator for demos if preferred.

### Step 5: Frontend
Use `assets/lovable-template/` or run:
```bash
python3 scripts/lovable_integrate.py \
  --app-name "my-frontend" \
  --backend-url "https://my-quantum-app.fly.dev" \
  --quantum-use-case "chemistry"
```
Then `npm install` and `npm run dev` in the frontend dir.

### Step 6: Connect and test
Point frontend `VITE_API_URL` to the Fly.io backend; hit `/health` to verify.

## Clinical Use Case Cheat Sheet

- **Drug discovery / molecular simulation:** `chemistry` — VQE-style energy/property in Guppy; expose molecule type and params via API.
- **Treatment / resource optimization:** `optimization` — Define objective (cost, wait time); run QAOA in Selene; display results in UI.
- **Patient stratification / classification:** `ml` — Map patient features to model inputs; return risk/stratum or classification.
- **Randomization (e.g. trials):** `random` — Quantum RNG from Guppy; expose bits/shots in API.
- **Security / key material:** `crypto` — Key generation or quantum-safe primitives; keep keys on backend only.

## Data and Compliance (Clinical / Hackathon)

- **Demos:** Use synthetic or de-identified data only. Do not send real PHI to quantum backends or store in Fly.io without a compliance plan.
- **API keys:** Store in Fly.io secrets (`fly secrets set`), never in code or frontend.
- **Production:** Add auth, rate limiting, and consider HIPAA/DPA; restrict CORS in Selene.

## Advanced: Multi-Quantum Use Cases

- **Optimization dashboard:** Selene + QAOA/VQE; Lovable with sliders; Fly.io with scaling.
- **Chemistry explorer:** Guppy molecular simulations; 3D viewer; optional persistent storage.
- **Quantum ML API:** Selene exposing QNN/QSVM; Lovable for training/predictions; Fly.io (GPU if needed).

## Performance, Cost, and Security

- **Queuing:** Use job queues for long-running quantum jobs; WebSockets or polling in frontend.
- **Caching:** Cache identical computations to reduce quantum hardware cost.
- **Fly.io:** Scale to zero when idle (`min_machines_running = 0`); use `references/flyio_config.md` for VM sizing.
- **Security:** No API keys in frontend; rate limiting on Selene; HTTPS in production; see `references/selene_api.md` for auth patterns.

## Troubleshooting

- **Guppy import error:** `pip install guppy` in backend; or use mock mode for demos.
- **Selene not starting:** Check `fly.toml`, `fly logs`, and env vars.
- **Frontend can’t connect:** Verify `VITE_API_URL`, CORS in Selene, and `curl .../health`.
- **Fly.io deploy fails:** `fly deploy --clean`; `fly logs --phase build`; ensure `fly auth login`.
- **Quantum results wrong:** Validate circuit logic and measurement; test with emulator first.

## Next Steps

After initial setup: monitor quantum usage/costs; add auth to Selene if public; improve error handling and logging; consider persistence for job history.
