Loadout Board
Encode mood boards as an amplitude vector and plot the embedding so designers navigate possibilities visually.
Amplitude encodingΒ· embeddings
Section Β· Quantum
full primer βThe hook.
Mood boards is encoded as a quantum vector and projected onto a 2D map; fashion designers navigate the option space visually instead of guessing parameters.
Why this primitiveAmplitude encoding is the right primitive here because mood boards reduces to a embeddings problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.
Kernel
an amplitude-encoding kernel that loads a normalized feature vector into log2(d) qubits and measures expectation values
Drives the UI as
a low-dimensional embedding scatter that updates as inputs change

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 β
~14.3 KB291 lines1 msg Β· ~5 credits
Build "Loadout Board": a one-page fashion mood-board quantum app for Lovable FREE tier (~5 credits, ONE build message).
CONSTRAINTS:
- No auth, no database, no Lovable Cloud. Static only.
- One workspace page + small "About the quantum" footer strip.
- Ship in ONE message.
REAL QUANTUM (build-time only):
1. pip install guppylang selene-sim in sandbox.
2. Create quantum/kernel.py: a @guppy function that amplitude-encodes a normalized 32-element feature vector into 5 qubits using selene_sim.build, applies a measurement circuit, and returns expectation values per qubit. Must be a real .py file (Guppy reads via inspect.getsource).
3. Create quantum/run.py: import the kernel, compile via Guppy, run on Selene emulator (5 qubits, 256 shots) over all 32 feature vectors. Write src/data/quantum-results.json: array of {input: [floatΓ32], output: {qubit_0_expectation: float, ..., qubit_4_expectation: float}}.
4. Execute quantum/run.py once during build. Commit real JSON. No Python at runtime.
FRONTEND (TanStack Start, /):
- Import src/data/quantum-results.json statically.
- Layout: Card (left) = Slider to pick feature vector index (0β31); Card (center) = live mood-board preview (color swatch grid derived from output expectation values); Card (right) = 2D scatter plot (x=qubit_0_expectation, y=qubit_1_expectation, all 32 points, highlight active).
- Tabs component: "Workspace" | "Quantum Trace".
- Quantum Trace tab: Badge showing kernel name, Tabs for "Expectation Values" (table: qubit | value) and "View Guppy Source" (code block with quantum/kernel.py inline).
- Design: dark background (#1a1a1a), accent color deep teal (#0d9488), font family: Geist. Micro-interaction: Slider change β scatter highlight + preview fade-in.
BUILD ORDER:
1. Create quantum/kernel.py (amplitude encoding, 5 qubits, real Guppy @guppy decorator).
2. Create quantum/run.py (loop 32 vectors, call kernel, write JSON).
3. Run quantum/run.py in sandbox; verify src/data/quantum-results.json exists.
4. Build React page: import JSON, Slider + Card + scatter (use recharts), Tabs for trace.
5. Deploy.
Deliverable: every number on screen traces to real Selene output from quantum/kernel.py.
--- QUANTINUUM APPENDIX (self-contained reference β paste verbatim) ---
[1] INSTALL (Lovable Linux sandbox):
python -m pip install --no-cache-dir guppylang selene-sim
[2] IMPORTS (use exactly these β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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.
src = (
"from quantum.kernel import guppy, my_helper\n"
"@guppy\n"
"def program() -> None:\n"
f" my_helper({params['a']!r}, {params['b']!r})\n"
)
tmp = Path(tempfile.gettempdir()) / "qprogs"; tmp.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
name = f"prog_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"
path = tmp / f"{name}.py"; path.write_text(src)
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 = []
for shot in runner.run_shots(Quest(), n_qubits=5, n_shots=shots):
out.append({str(l): int(v) for l, v in shot})
return out

[10] BUILD ORDER (do not deviate β 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 β selene_run v1 (write this exact shape to src/data/quantum-results.json):
{
"schemaVersion": 1,
"experiment": "<idea-slug>",
"title": "<idea title>",
"description": "<one plain-English sentence β what a non-quantum dev sees>",
"kernel": { "snippet": "<first 40 lines of quantum/kernel.py>", "qubits": <int>, "shotsPerRow": <int> },
"verdict": { "text": "<one-sentence headline of the result>", "good": true },
"metrics": [ { "name": "<label>", "value": <number>, "unit": "<%|bits|Hz|...>", "good": true } ],

"xLabel": "...", "yLabel": "...", "yKeys": ["count"],
"points": [ { "label": "<x>", "values": { "count": <num> } } ] } ]

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 β no mocks.
