# Quantum Docker Engine
A quantum computing-based container orchestration system that uses quantum mechanics principles like superposition, entanglement, and measurement for container management.
## 🎯 Overview
Quantum Docker Engine is a **pure simulation framework** that demonstrates how quantum computing concepts can be applied to container orchestration. It uses Google Cirq for quantum circuit simulation.
**Note**: This is a **simulation/research project**. It does NOT run actual Docker containers or real processes. Instead, it simulates quantum states and container metadata.
## ✨ Features
### Quantum Mechanics Concepts
- **Quantum Superposition**: Containers exist in multiple states simultaneously
- **Quantum Entanglement**: Link containers for correlated behavior
- **Quantum Measurement**: Collapse superposition to determine actual state
- **Quantum Tunneling**: Transition between states through quantum barriers
- **Quantum Gates**: Apply quantum operations (Hadamard, CNOT, etc.)
- **Quantum Annealing**: Optimize resource allocation
### Container Operations
- Create and manage quantum containers
- Apply quantum gates to modify container states
- Perform quantum measurements
- Create entanglement between containers
- Load balancing using quantum annealing
- Real-time monitoring and metrics

## 🧬 Quantum Concepts
### Superposition
Containers can exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured:
- `running` + `stopped` + `suspended`
- Probability amplitudes determine likelihood of each state
### Entanglement
Link containers so their states are correlated:
- Measuring one instantly affects the other
- Useful for coordinated services
### Measurement
Collapse superposition to a definite state:
- Probabilistic outcome based on quantum amplitudes
- Irreversible operation
### Quantum Gates
Modify quantum states using gates:
- **H (Hadamard)**: Create superposition
- **X (Pauli-X)**: Flip state
- **Y (Pauli-Y)**: Y-axis rotation
- **Z (Pauli-Z)**: Phase flip
- **CNOT**: Controlled-NOT (entanglement)
