**QuantumGridOS** is a Python library for connecting power systems data to quantum computers.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This library currently supports Python 3.8 to 3.11. Python 3.12+ is not yet supported.

It enables solving power system optimization problems using quantum algorithms (QAOA, VQE) with minimal latency TCP/IP data exchange.

## 🚀 Features

- **Real-time TCP/IP streaming** for power systems data exchange
- **Quantum algorithm support**: QAOA, VQE, Grover's
- **Power system optimizations**: Unit commitment, MaxCut, OPF, State estimation
- **Low-latency architecture** with async I/O and buffer management
- **Hardware agnostic**: Works with IBM Quantum, IonQ, Rigetti, simulators
- **Extensive examples** and documentation

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install quantumgridos
```

For development:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/saralsystems/quantumgridos.git
cd quantumgridos
pip install -e .[dev]
```

## 🎯 Quick Start

### Basic MaxCut for Power Network Partitioning

```python
import quantumgridos as qgo

# Initialize quantum-power interface
interface = qgo.QuantumPowerInterface(
    quantum_backend='qiskit_aer',
    tcp_host='localhost',
    tcp_port=5000
)

# Define power network
network = qgo.PowerNetwork.from_ieee_case(14)  # IEEE 14-bus

# Create MaxCut optimizer for network partitioning
optimizer = qgo.MaxCutOptimizer(
    network=network,
    algorithm='qaoa',
    layers=3
)

# Start real-time processing
async def process_stream():
    async for data in interface.tcp_stream():
        # Solve partitioning problem
        result = await optimizer.solve_async(data)
        
        # Send result back to power system
        await interface.send_result(result)

# Run
import asyncio
asyncio.run(process_stream())
```

### Unit Commitment Example

```python
import quantumgridos as qgo

# Configure unit commitment problem
uc_problem = qgo.UnitCommitment(
    generators=[
        {'name': 'G1', 'pmin': 50, 'pmax': 200, 'cost': 1000},
        {'name': 'G2', 'pmin': 20, 'pmax': 100, 'cost': 1500}
    ],
    demand_forecast=[150, 180, 200, 170],
    time_periods=4
)

# Setup quantum solver
solver = qgo.QuantumSolver(
    problem=uc_problem,
    backend='ibmq_qasm_simulator',
    algorithm='vqe',
    optimizer='cobyla'
)

# Solve with TCP streaming
with qgo.TCPInterface(port=5000) as tcp:
    for demand_update in tcp.stream():
        uc_problem.update_demand(demand_update)
        solution = solver.solve()
        tcp.send(solution.to_scada_format())
```

## 📊 Benchmarks

| Problem Type | Network Size | Classical (ms) | Quantum (ms) | Speedup |
|-------------|-------------|---------------|--------------|---------|
| MaxCut | IEEE 14-bus | 120 | 45 | 2.67x |

## 🔌 TCP/IP Protocol

QuantumGridOS uses optimized binary protocol for minimal latency:

```python
# Message format
{
    'timestamp': int64,          # Unix timestamp in microseconds
    'msg_type': uint8,          # 0: data, 1: control, 2: result
    'data': {
        'bus_voltages': float32[],
        'line_flows': float32[],
        'generator_status': bool[]
    }
}
```
