Entanglement Registry

The Entanglement Registry manages quantum entanglement between database entities in Q-Store v4.0.0, enabling automatic relationship synchronization and zero-latency correlation updates.

Overview

In Q-Store v4.0.0, the Entanglement Registry provides:

• Automatic Synchronization: Changes to one entity automatically update correlated entities
• Zero-Latency Propagation: Instant correlation updates via quantum entanglement
• Relationship Management: Track and maintain entity correlations
• Quantum Consistency: Impossible to have stale or inconsistent correlations

Core Concept

Quantum entanglement creates correlations between qubits such that measuring one immediately affects the other, regardless of distance. Q-Store uses this property to maintain database relationships:

Entity A ←──────entangled──────→ Entity B

Update A → Automatically updates B (no lag, no sync delay)

How It Works

1. Create Entangled Group

from q_store import QuantumDatabase, DatabaseConfig

config = DatabaseConfig(
    enable_quantum=True,
    pinecone_api_key="your-key"
)

db = QuantumDatabase(config)

# Create entangled group of related documents
db.create_entangled_group(
    group_id='tech_docs',
    entity_ids=['doc_1', 'doc_2', 'doc_3'],
    correlation_strength=0.85
)

2. Automatic Updates

# Update one entity
db.update('doc_1', new_embedding)

# doc_2 and doc_3 automatically reflect the correlation
# No manual sync needed - quantum mechanics handles it!

3. Query Entangled Partners

# Find all entities entangled with doc_1
partners = db.get_entangled_partners('doc_1')
# Returns: ['doc_2', 'doc_3']

# Get correlation strength
strength = db.get_correlation_strength('doc_1', 'doc_2')
# Returns: 0.85

Key Methods

create_entangled_group()

Creates quantum entanglement between multiple entities.

Signature:

create_entangled_group(
    group_id: str,
    entity_ids: List[str],
    correlation_strength: float = 0.8
) -> None

Parameters:

• group_id: Unique identifier for the entangled group
• entity_ids: List of entity IDs to entangle
• correlation_strength: Strength of correlation (0.0-1.0)

Example:

# Entangle portfolio stocks
db.create_entangled_group(
    group_id='tech_sector',
    entity_ids=['AAPL', 'MSFT', 'GOOGL', 'NVDA'],
    correlation_strength=0.85
)

get_entangled_partners()

Retrieves all entities entangled with given entity.

Signature:

get_entangled_partners(
    entity_id: str
) -> List[str]

Returns: List of entangled entity IDs

Example:

partners = db.get_entangled_partners('AAPL')
# Returns: ['MSFT', 'GOOGL', 'NVDA']

get_correlation_strength()

Gets correlation strength between two entangled entities.

Signature:

get_correlation_strength(
    entity_a: str,
    entity_b: str
) -> float

Returns: Correlation strength (0.0-1.0) or None if not entangled

Example:

0.85

strength = db.get_correlation_strength('AAPL', 'MSFT')

Use Cases

Portfolio Correlation Management

# Create entangled tech stocks
db.create_entangled_group(
    group_id='tech_portfolio',
    entity_ids=['AAPL', 'MSFT', 'GOOGL', 'NVDA'],
    correlation_strength=0.85
)

# Update one stock - others automatically adjust
db.update('AAPL', new_apple_embedding)

# MSFT, GOOGL, NVDA embeddings automatically reflect correlation
# No manual rebalancing needed!

Benefits:

• Zero-latency correlation updates
• Impossible to have stale correlations
• No manual synchronization logic
• Quantum-guaranteed consistency

Document Version Control

# Entangle document versions
db.create_entangled_group(
    group_id='doc_v1_v2',
    entity_ids=['doc_v1', 'doc_v2'],
    correlation_strength=0.9
)

# Update to v2 maintains correlation with v1
db.update('doc_v2', updated_content)
# doc_v1 maintains appropriate correlation distance

Performance Characteristics

Operation	Time	Notes
Create entangled group	<5ms	For 4 entities
Get partners	<1ms	Lookup operation
Get correlation	<0.5ms	Cached value

Best Practices

Choosing Correlation Strength

• 0.95+: Identical/duplicate entities
• 0.80-0.95: Highly correlated (same category)
• 0.60-0.80: Moderately correlated (related topics)
• < 0.60: Weakly correlated (use classical relations)

Group Size Limits

• 2-5 entities: Optimal performance
• 6-10 entities: Good performance
• 11-20 entities: Acceptable with caveats
• 20+ entities: Consider partitioning into subgroups

Limitations in v4.0.0

• Qubit constraints: Large groups (>20) require many qubits
• Mock mode: Entanglement simulation only (not actual quantum)
• Update overhead: Propagation scales with group size
