Pivot Licensing

Estimate the dominant resonance phase of stock licensing so photographers lock onto what is really driving the piece.

The hook.

full primer โ†’

Stock licensing is matched against a target resonance using quantum phase estimation; photographers see a single dial that snaps when alignment is strongest.

Why this primitivePhase estimation is the right primitive here because stock licensing reduces to a resonance problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a Quantum Phase Estimation kernel returning the dominant eigenphase of a problem operator
Drives the UI as
a phase dial (0 to 2ฯ€) tied to a resonance/match indicator
