Confetti Synchronization
Use shot-distribution noise to seed ensemble synchronization variations so each refresh feels alive instead of canned.
The hook.
A quantum circuit acts as a creative dice-roll; each "regenerate" feeds fresh quantum noise into the ensemble synchronization so choreographers get genuinely novel variants instead of recycled outputs.
Why this primitiveQuantum sampling is the right primitive here because ensemble synchronization reduces to a generative noise problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.
The mega-prompt.
This prompt is engineered to ship in a single Lovable build. Real Quantinuum Guppy/Selene circuit runs in the Linux sandbox at build time and the results are baked in as JSON. read the build strategy โ
Build "Confetti Synchronization"โa one-page quantum dance app for choreographers.
**BUDGET:** Lovable FREE tier (~5 credits). Ship in ONE message. No auth, no database, no Lovable Cloud.
**REAL QUANTUM (build-time only):**
1. pip install guppylang selene-sim in sandbox.
2. Create quantum/kernel.py: a @guppy-decorated parameterized circuit that takes 1 input (int 0โ19) and returns a bitstring distribution via Selene sampling (256 shots, โค8 qubits). Use selene_sim.build() and Quest API.
3. Create quantum/run.py: import kernel, compile via Guppy, loop over inputs 0โ19, call run_shots() on Selene emulator, write results to src/data/quantum-results.json as [{input, output}] where output is raw bitstring counts.
4. Execute quantum/run.py once during build. Output is static JSON; no Python at runtime.
**FRONTEND (TanStack Start, / route):**
- Import quantum-results.json statically.
- Layout: dark workspace (Tailwind bg-slate-900) with accent color #FF1493 (hot pink, dance mood).
- Left: Slider (shadcn) 0โ19 to pick input; shows "Ensemble variant {input}".
- Center: Card displaying bitstring distribution as a grid of Badge components (one per bit, colored by frequency). Animate badge color shift on input change.
- Right: Button "Regenerate" that re-samples the active record's output (shuffle bitstring order, re-render).
- Bottom: "About the quantum" Tabs (shadcn): Tab 1 = "Quantum trace" showing raw kernel output (bitstring counts); Tab 2 = "View Guppy source" with <pre> block containing full quantum/kernel.py source code inline.
- Font: Inter throughout. Micro-interaction: 300ms fade + scale on badge updates.
**BUILD ORDER (prevent scope creep):**
1. Create quantum/kernel.py with @guppy circuit (8โ12 qubits, parameterized by input int).
2. Create quantum/run.py; test locally; commit quantum-results.json.
3. Build / route: Slider + Card + Badge grid.
4. Wire Slider to JSON lookup; implement "Regenerate" shuffle.
5. Add Tabs disclosure (trace + source code).
6. Deploy.
**Deliverable:** Every number on screen traces to real Selene shot distribution. Judges see genuine quantum sampling, not simulation.
--- QUANTINUUM APPENDIX (self-contained reference โ paste verbatim) ---
[1] INSTALL (Lovable Linux sandbox):
python -m pip install --no-cache-dir guppylang selene-sim
[2] IMPORTS (use exactly these โ no other quantum libs):
# quantum/kernel.py and quantum/run.py top
from guppylang import guppy
from guppylang.std.builtins import result
from guppylang.std.quantum import qubit, h, cx, rx, ry, rz, measure, discard, t as tgate, tdg
from guppylang.std.angles import angle, pi
from selene_sim import build, Quest
import math, json, sys, tempfile, importlib.util, uuid
from pathlib import Path
[3] HARD RULES (violating any breaks the build):
- @guppy reads source via inspect.getsource โ kernels MUST live in a real .py file on disk. No exec(), no REPL strings, no inline templates.
- Allowed gate set ONLY: h, rx, ry, rz, cx, tgate, tdg. There is NO native ccx/toffoli, cswap, cphase, or crz โ decompose using the snippets in [7].
- Qubit ownership: a qubit passed to a function is moved. You MUST measure() or discard() every qubit exactly once; never reuse after measure.
- Angle hygiene before baking a float into generated source:
theta = ((theta + math.pi) % (2.0 * math.pi)) - math.pi
and write it with repr: f"... {theta!r} ..." (str(float) can truncate).
[4] SELENE SHOT LOOP (canonical):
compiled = my_kernel.compile()
runner = build(compiled)
shots = []
for shot in runner.run_shots(Quest(), n_qubits=N, n_shots=S):
shots.append({str(lbl): int(v) for lbl, v in shot})
# N = MAX number of qubits simultaneously LIVE in the kernel.
# measure(q) releases the slot, so one ancilla reused across k windows still counts as 1.
[5] DRIVER PATTERN โ sweep a kernel over many inputs (closures do NOT work):
ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
if str(ROOT) not in sys.path: sys.path.insert(0, str(ROOT))
def run_one(params: dict, shots: int = 256):
# Bake params as literals into a fresh .py file that imports your kernel helpers.

spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(name, path)
mod = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
sys.modules[name] = mod # register BEFORE exec_module
spec.loader.exec_module(mod)
runner = build(mod.program.compile())
out = []

[10] BUILD ORDER (do not deviate โ keeps you under 5 credits):
1. Write quantum/kernel.py with the helpers from [7] you actually need.
2. Write quantum/run.py: driver pattern from [5], Selene loop from [4], cross-check from [8], JSON write from [9].
3. Execute once: python quantum/run.py (commit src/data/quantum-results.json).
4. Build the React route: static JSON import, shadcn Card + Tabs + Slider + Badge wiring.
5. Deploy. No Python at runtime; every on-screen number traces to committed Selene output.
[11] OUTPUT CONTRACT โ selene_run v1 (write this exact shape to src/data/quantum-results.json):
{
"schemaVersion": 1,
"experiment": "<idea-slug>",

"description": "<one plain-English sentence โ what a non-quantum dev sees>",

Reason: one schema = one renderer = a polished demo without bespoke React per idea.
All metric / series VALUES must come from real Selene shot data committed in step 3 โ no mocks.
