# Q-TensorFormer: Quantum-Enhanced Tensor Network LLM Compression Engine

A hybrid quantum-tensor transformer that adaptively compresses FFN layers using
**Tensor-Train decomposition** and **quantum feature encoding**, guided by
**entanglement entropy**.

## Key Innovation

```
rank = r_min + α × S(ρ)
```

Where S(ρ) is the entanglement entropy (estimated from attention patterns).
Higher entropy → higher tensor rank needed; lower entropy → more compression.

## Architecture

| Component | Technology |
|-----------|-----------|
| FFN Layers | Pure-PyTorch Tensor-Train (TT) decomposition |
| Feature Encoding | PennyLane quantum angle embedding (4 qubits) |
| Attention | Classical multi-head attention (stable) |
| Rank Scheduler | Entanglement-guided adaptive rank |
| Quantum Router | Selective: only "hard" tokens → quantum circuit |

## Benchmark Results

**Config**: d_model=64, 2 layers, 4 heads, TT-rank=8, 4 qubits
