The hook.

full primer โ†’

Two photojournalism archives candidates go into a quantum similarity check; the app shows photographers a single 0โ€“100% match score so they can pick the closest one in a tap.

Why this primitiveSWAP test is the right primitive here because photojournalism archives reduces to a similarity problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a 2-register SWAP-test kernel returning fidelity in [0,1] between two amplitude-encoded vectors
Drives the UI as
a similarity score (0-100%) and a 'closest match' surface
