IR-QPE Bridge
==============
Hybrid classical-quantum period finding using IR preprocessing
to reduce quantum measurement requirements.
Validated Performance:
- 29-42% quantum shot reduction (IR experiment T6-A2)
- Works in regime N ≲ 50 (optimal for ATLAS-Q scale)
- Maintains same accuracy with fewer measurements
Strategy:
1. IR classical preprocessing → narrow candidate set
2. Quantum Phase Estimation with reduced shots
3. Bayesian fusion of classical and quantum results
Author: ATLAS-Q + IR Integration
