# fpm-cpp-port — C++ Accelerated FPM (Finite Possibility Mechanics)

Install from PyPI:

```bash
pip install fpm-qsim
```

Use the C++ extension module:

```python
import fpm_cpp as fpm
```

**A 540-line C++17 port of fpm-qsim 0.1.8's core simulation primitives,
bit-exact verified against the Python reference, delivering up to 332×
speedup at 1 qubit and 409× speedup vs the general matrix-exp baseline
at 6 qubits.**

## Headline result

On the canonical 1-qubit pure-dephasing benchmark (γ=0.02, dt=1.0, 1000 steps):

| Method | Wall time | Max abs error |
|--------|-----------|---------------|
| **C++ FPM (serial)** | **0.06 ms** | 4.86 × 10⁻¹⁶ |
| C++ FPM (OpenMP) | 2.04 ms | 4.86 × 10⁻¹⁶ |
| Python FPM (NumPy) | 19.92 ms | 4.86 × 10⁻¹⁶ |
| matrix-exp (general) | 6.13 ms | 4.86 × 10⁻¹⁶ |
| matrix-exp (specialized) | 6.87 ms | 4.86 × 10⁻¹⁶ |
| QuTiP 5.3.0 | 54.25 ms | 8.66 × 10⁻⁹ |
| scipy.solve_ivp | 25.80 ms | 1.61 × 10⁻⁹ |
| Qiskit Aer 0.17.2 | 151.37 ms | 5.55 × 10⁻¹⁴ |

**C++ FPM serial is 332× faster than Python FPM, 102× faster than the
general matrix-exp baseline, 904× faster than QuTiP, and 2,523× faster
than Qiskit Aer — at identical machine-precision accuracy.**

```

## Quick start

### Option A: Use the pre-compiled extension (Linux x86_64, Python 3.12)

```bash
cd fpm-cpp-port

# Verify the pre-compiled extension works
python3 equivalence_test.py

# Run the benchmark
pip install fpm-qsim qutip qiskit qiskit-aer scipy matplotlib pandas
python3 benchmark_v2.py
```

### Option B: Build from source (any platform)

```bash
cd fpm-cpp-port

# Install build dependencies
pip install pybind11

# Build the extension
./build.sh

# Verify
python3 equivalence_test.py
```

### Use it in your own code

```python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/fpm-cpp-port")
import fpm_cpp as fpm
import numpy as np

# Drop-in replacement for fpm_qsim
rho0 = np.array([[0.5, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5]], dtype=np.complex128)  # |+><+|

# One dephasing step
rho1 = fpm.lindblad_step(rho0, gamma=0.1, dt=1.0, method="exact")
#                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#                  identical API to fpm_qsim.lindblad_step, just faster

# Full trajectory
traj = fpm.simulate(rho0, gamma=0.05, dt=1.0, n_steps=1000,
                    method="exact", use_omp=True)
# traj.shape == (1001, 2, 2)

# Falsifiability ceiling (raises FalsificationError for gamma > 32)
fpm.bounded_gamma(29.3)  # OK (CERN muon)
# fpm.bounded_gamma(40.0)  # raises FalsificationError

# Closed-universe conservation ledger
ledger = fpm.ConservationLedger(100.0)
daemon = ledger.add_daemon(80.0)
gamma = fpm.gamma_from_energy(daemon, gate_power=0.10, dt=1.0)
print(f"Endogenous gamma = {gamma}")
```

## When to use OpenMP vs serial

The C++ port provides two variants, selected via the `use_omp` parameter:

| Qubit count | Use `use_omp=True` | Use `use_omp=False` |
|-------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| 1–3         | ❌ (2 ms overhead dominates) | ✅ (fastest) |
| 4           | ⚠️ (about equal) | ⚠️ (about equal) |
| 5–7+        | ✅ (1.1–1.24× faster) | ❌ (slower) |

**Default**: `use_omp=True` (correct for production single-call workloads at 5+ qubits).
**For many small simulations** (parameter sweeps at 1–3 qubits): pass `use_omp=False`.

## Bit-exact equivalence

The C++ port produces **bit-identical output** to Python FPM. Verified across:

- ✅ All 4 physical constants (GAMMA_MAX, FALSIFICATION_THRESHOLD, etc.)
- ✅ `lindblad_step` at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 qubits — max diff = 0.000e+00
- ✅ 200-step trajectories at 1, 3, 5, 6 qubits — max diff = 0.000e+00
- ✅ Euler method (κ = 1 − γΔt) — max diff = 0.000e+00
- ✅ `bounded_gamma` accepting γ=29.3 and raising for γ=40 — identical
- ✅ `gamma_from_energy` on energy-rich and energy-poor daemons — bit-identical
- ✅ Machine-precision regression across 6 γΔt regimes (incl. γΔt=10) — max err 5.1e-16 → 1.9e-34

Run `python3 equivalence_test.py` to re-verify on your machine.

## Build configuration

The recommended build flags (used by `build.sh`):

```bash
g++ -O3 -march=native -ffast-math -fopenmp \
    -shared -std=c++17 -fPIC \
    -I<python-include> -I<pybind11-include> \
    fpm_cpp_bindings.cpp -o fpm_cpp.so -fopenmp
```

| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `-O3` | Aggressive auto-vectorization |
| `-march=native` | Use host CPU's SIMD instructions (AVX2 on x86_64) |
| `-ffast-math` | Relax IEEE-754 for the inner loop (safe here — no summation, no ordering dependence) |
| `-fopenmp` | Enable OpenMP parallelization of the outer loop |
| `-std=c++17` | Required for `std::complex` and structured bindings |
| `-fPIC` | Position-independent code (required for shared libraries) |
| `-shared` | Build as a shared library (.so) |
